Tough day on the water with a northerly wind and squally showers. Nice beat though, all fish on the Ptn

3 Grayling

2 Trout

2 of us fished and caught on a mix of dries, duo and nymphs. Many more fished missed. Fab day on beautiful stretch of river.
Best grayling circa 2lb. Beat owner really friendly and helpful with tips.
Also kindly arranged last minute evening beat tickets for the Friday we arrived via WUF.
We will be back.

Thanks to owner and WUF for allowing access.

Nice and diverse beat. Altough quite a few large extremely slow deep pools that we skipped with dry fly.
We found a handfull of typical grayling currents. small sedge, bwo, pale watery tied in emerger style on CdC no18-20.

Sorry for the late return.

Cool one degree start to a lovely September day. Downstream wind in the middle of the day a bit of a pain but did not spoil a great day on a quality beat.
Only two trout but more than compensated for by the grayling. Most coming to spiders during the morning and afternoon. Two on dries late morning before the wind pitched in, only one fish to the French leader.
Was about leave just after 5pm when I bumped into the owners. Was given some totally selfless help from Shaun that resulted in another 7 grayling all to dries as the day faded.

No fish I’m afraid but a lovely beat. Saw a couple and missed two but none to the net today.

Good day. The grayling were very localised and needed to be found. Most on nymphs in the morning and early afternoon. In the mid-afternoon, there was a rise of fish in the gravel glide at the bottom of the beat, and several nicegrayling were caught on a dry cdc. Good avergage size of about 1lb, with the biggest about 2lbs. River was a good condition. The owner came down to chat with us, which was appreciated.
