Riffle on Beat C
“Members had to diversify their fly choice even further this week to tempt a take; hundreds of tadpoles were providing abundant natural food. Successful flies included sedge, grey Wulff, daddy, black klinkhammer, buzzer, gnat, dry mayfly, caddis and olive … white nymph, green montana, Ally McCoist, PTN and damsel.
Not many fished the river, which proved very challenging. Riverfly monitoring revealed very high numbers of both shrimp and olive nymphs – rising fish were only really showing in the late evening.“
