Heaps of small rainbow trout hitting the lures. Caught at least 20. Great fun wading and casting into the rapids to these agressive little fish. Once hooked, they are lots of fun on light tackle with their leaps out of the water. Kept two for the pan. Great day out. |

We put a bell on the line and it rang in the middle of dinner. Despite having a few wines under the belt, we caught a huge brown trout as big as my foot. Fantastic! |

River was flowing far too fast I think. Didn't get a nibble. Tried the pondage on the Tuesday. Mate got 1 little reddy, tiny. Bloke on other bank got a big old brown trout about 600mm long. Not happy. But good on him. Great catch. |

Cold and even wetter than the pondage, we gave up and went back to the pondage in the hope at least it would stop raining. |

Saw a few rises - hooked and lost a small brown. Very quiet. Reinforces theory that fishing goes quiet when weather is unstable... storms came up in afternoon. Roach was caught near Burnt Bridge Camping area (NOT released). |

Worked small section of the river. Had another hook up but lost it - released the small brown to fight another day. Both had very light colouring but were in excellent condition. Used march flies in exasperation, put them on the hook after swatting a few. |
