The river dropped and cleared overnight and by midday the Grayling were back on the feed and rising freely to a Johnathan Barnes life jacket caddis as well as nailing the black magic nymph fished duo. Other fish were caught using tight line nymphs and latter on in the afternoon on targeted dry using an elk hair caddis sz 14. Trout to 14", Grayling to 16" and one Parr. This is a wonderful, peaceful fishery that needs a couple of days just to explore it.

Caught earlier in the day on nymph and dry fly. Fish went off as weather became hot and very sunny. Trout to 1lbs and lost a good one in the fast water. My first Irfon grayling was 3” but my second on dry was 2.25lbs - a lovely fish. Would certainly revisit this water. I don’t weigh fish or photograph them - just return them quickly. It’s only fair on the fish.

Booked late in the afternoon for a few hours, river was coloured but still had 4 to the net from the top of the beat fishing close to the overhang trees. Lovely afternoon

The river was pushing through hard and the colour of a cup of tea. Trout to 11" and a couple of Parr were caught using tight line nymphs in the more even paced water on a copper bead, fluro orange tag hares ear sz 14 jig. The Grayling were off the feed.

River clearing after heavy rain the previous day. Early nymphing followed by dry fly. Trout to 1.25lbs. Nice water to fish - wading needs care.

A bright sunny day with some overcast moments. Lower bit of beat slow and dark and hard to get into. Further up an excellent range of good fishing and very well kept. A wonderful range of fishing. Had a decent take on the dry but was too slow in my reaction. Nothing taking on the nymphs and not many rises either, but a lovely day all the same. Thank you
