A day on the mayfly with Mark Hirst. Good spinner action, p.m.

A day on dries with Jimmy. Mayfly activity starting to get going. Fish quite cooperative. Wind direction less so. Top fly was the ‘Found Link’.
A day with Bob Allan. Mayfly starting to trickle off. Loads of alders, sedges and other stuff – and clouds of gnats and hawthorns.
A good autumnal day and good sport with dries.
A few mayfly coming off, but the fish yet to tune in to them. Hard work with dries in bright sunshine. A few alders provided a bit of sport.
In the middle of an algal bloom, but the wind had blown it all to the east end, and the top half of the water was crystal clear.
Mayfly hatch starting to tail-off, but fish still very much interested in them.
A very blowy day, with not much doing, mayfly feeding-wise.
