A tale of 2 sides, started on the lower half of the beat, czeck nymphing and struggled, water was gin clear and had one or 2 pulls on a long line. Headed up over the talons in the some calmer water and still no luck so decided head to the top of the beat. A good move . As we arrived I noticed the odd olive coming off so switched to duo and had almost instant success on the dry in the bubble line.
A great early afternoon

3 Trout, 6 Grayling

fished from 11am till 4pm. 1 brown trout and a very decent grayling (surely over 2 pound). Lost a big fish, which has broken quite easily a 6 lbs line.

Water very clear so trotting maybe not the best idea. After 2 hours switched to nymphs for another hour before a bad back got the better of me.

The river looked perfect 0.6 and almost clear. Despite our efforts searching with a variety of nymphs and the five of us just could not find fish, covering all but the last bend at very top of the beat. We saw a few early olives hatching but no rises. One grayling of 13" caught and one trout 10" pricked and lost both on pink shrimps. A very enjoyable day out on the water nonetheless.

River was fairly high for this stretch and conditions were freezing cold but clear - only 1 lovely brown trout caught by nymph and safely returned of course. No other activity seen nor bites for the rest of the afternoon - I fished the late afternoon only.

River dropping and running Gin clear. Majority of fish caught on a french leader with a couple of hares ears in deep water!
