cold day and slightly coloured water

3 Trout

no activity at all, try dry flies and nymphs but no way to find a fish

Four trout caught on dry fly during a hatch around midday, with sun out on early spring day. One trout and one grayling caught on spiders, and one escaped just on the point of being netted.

5 Trout, 1 Grayling

All fishes caught with dry fly, large March Brown, including 2 large chubs of 4 pound each. The biggest BT has taken a pretty early Mayfly... Started the day with French nymphing, but didn't take a bite. Another pleasant day, sharing the beat with the owner, who was after salmons.

Conditions looked lovely, ten hours of trotting ensued = 3 bites, 2 nibbled maggies - DOH! Any one got a bag of golf bats for sell?

Like our previous sessions on other waters the river was high and pushing through but we managed to pick out a few trout, grayling and salmon parr off the main flow in the calmer water.

First time fishing this stretch and tried trotting for Grayling with no success. Weather about 7 degrees and heavy rain and times. Wading in fast conditions was tough in places. Will be back in more clement conditions.

First time on Abernant and fish came from the whole length of the stretch. Largest fish was a lovely grayling of 16 or so inches and 1lb 13oz. All fish caught trotting maggots.

6 Trout, 7 Grayling

Trotting maggot. Grayling generally 10-12”; best 15”
