A few grayling caught in the streamier sections, together with a few salmon parr, on spider patterns.

6 Grayling

Half of the fish caught were on dries even though not much rising. Odd fish caught here and there, no real hot areas. Good day nice weather easy wading. The big black bull stood near the gate and took no notice of me at all....luckily!

Good day, shared the beat with another senior angler....we were both disturbed by a couple of fishing youths who clearly had taken an opportune moment to try a spot of spinning without authority. My counterpart's challenge was enough to see them move on. Nonetheless, fishing was not unduly affected. 6 grayling and an out of season trout was my bag, all taken on red tag/zulu and returned safely. Water in excellent condition.

Bead head and traditional spiders accounted for all fish. Plenty of surface activity too but had no dries with me to take advantage.

15 x grayling 6-16 inches, 2 x out of season trout, 6 and 10 inches. On dry flies, mainly Grayling Steel Blue, except for the OOS trout taken on nymphs. We had to work for our fish today. A bright, distinctly cold early morning, with nothing much hatching or rising until lunchtime. An otter was busy giving Stone Catch the works, so nothing doing there. After lunch, the grayling did start to show a bit as the day warmed up and pale watery duns were hatching, but rises were fussy and hard to hit and change flies often needed once you had missed a fish. It really got going about 5.30, but we were due to leave. Note to self: start later and finish later when possible - that last hour before dark can be the best of the day.

Amazing weather and beautiful surroundings, a couple of small fish caught and quite a few missed. I lost my tweed flat cap, if anyone finds it please get in touch its been on many fishing trips and will be sorely missed.

No fish caught. One fish seen in Stone Catch.

River at 1Ft and clear. No chance of a salmon but a nice day for some casting practice.

Bright dry day with occasional hatches of blue winged olives. Fish caught on nymph and dry patterns, and all returned safely.

River conditions were excellent, with water levels good and weather fair. Some rises first thing. Began with a dry fly and took a number of grayling and one trout on the central pool. Then switched to a team of spiders on a long leader, on the the advice of guide Oliver Burch, and took the majority of grayling and one larger trout weighing approx one and a quarter pounds. Lastly finished off with czech nymphs and took the remainder of smaller grayling.
This was the first time using the foundation, and I have found it a great service, with a huge selection of waters to choose from. Next time I'm in the region I will definitely be booking beats through the foundation.
