I've been seeing some good hatches but they're not rising with great regularity. I've had to wait and be patient but it can pay off.  |

This one ate a cdc emerger but I had a few fish hit the mayfly but not properly commit.  |

I grabbed a couple of hours this morning and waited on a rising fish. I was lucky enough to spot one, catch it and snipped off and went home.
There were OK hatches of olive uprights, a few larger caddis and the mays were starting to appear when I left.

The fish were taking the mayflies more confidently yesterday. Not splashy rises but heads popping up to eat them. Caddis later on and I'm just coming to terms with the fish that didn't make it to the net yesterday!

Amazing photo quality Pete (this and your other recent images), I suspect something more than a humble phone camera?

Thanks John. It is an iPhone 13 Pro I think and I take a few shots in portrait mode as well as standard and will sometimes crop the photo.
I take a couple of quick pics and let the fish go rather than looking to get the right pic. There have been plenty of just an empty hand as the fish has shot off and gone!

Yesterday, it looked like the fish had stopped eating the mays despite a fair few still hatching. There was a huge amount of beetles around but typically, there was little wind and they were enjoying life on the landsite of the tree line.
I did move a sizeable fish on a beetle though, I lifted as it rose but no one was attached. I caught fish on Grffiths Gnat and a good old fashioned Adams.
My friend Luke and I spent an age on one fish that was mopping up most things in a back eddy but took a fair bit of covering before we got it!
