WASHED OFF .Went up for a look on Tuesday 25th it was a little high with very light colour , although we have had consistent rain as its spring feed I was hoping it may still be just about fishable , well I got that wrong , very high coloured, but very pale grey not really muddy, but as its a best fished wading the better part of valour was to call in a wash off, couldn't see the bottom and with that speed of water deemed to dangerous might end up in Leominster or stuck under a fallen tree .

Stream as low as I can remember. no fly life until a warm spell late afternoon, when some activity; one fish to the bank on an Adams klink.

3 trout, not very big, size 18 black PTN.

A very hot day at Knill, with the air temperature in low-30s. However, the cold and crystal clear stream made it refreshing to be in the river, topping up by good shades from the trees. The water was low but the flow was still decent, considering the current drought we had. There were still plenty of pools with 3+ foot depth.

Fishing-wise, very difficult. Started at Knill farm up-to the foot bride with nothing caught. Then moved to the lower section. There were many good looking deep pools but none produced. Had 3 brown on a size 18 PTN. The first one came from a flat and the other two came from drifting PTN right next to undercut banks. Caught a crayfish by accident.

There were lots of cased caddis, under pretty much on every big rocks flipped. With that many caddis, I suspected the fish would be selective. Anyway, it was a good day out with nature.

Nothing caught ( my ability not lack of fish- saw a few nice ones)

Found my shortest rod (7'6") was too long for this small beat

The Hindwell is now very low and clear and fish easily spooked. Fished a couple of hours this afternoon using duo. All fish to a bead head nymph in the faster water.

Only fished the lower section as had to travel home.

Lots of fishy spots but not much showing. Fished dries all morning.

Very overgrown and very difficult to navigate in sections. Upper section above weir may be easier.
