More of a recce for future winter grayling. Right bank downstream from the church difficult to access from bank. Water clear but peaty and dropping. Fished for a couple of hours upstream and caught 1 trout 9 inches on nymph. Lovely spot.

River still quite coloured but fishable. Caught 4 small trout ( biggest 12 inches ) and a nice grayling, all on nymph except the largest of the trout caught on a small dry adams. Thank's for a great days fishing on a lovely stretch of water,

Nice couple of hours fishing, water still a bit coloured from heavy showers earlier in the week. All fish caught to the dry fly, not easy, had to search out rising fish but if you could find them they were on.

6 Trout, 6 Grayling

Lovely beat as I expected but water chocolate brown and hammering through. 1 small trout on weighted nymph in streamy water and all in all very difficult wading and fishing.

2 x trout to 1.5 pounds, 7 x grayling to 0.75 pounds. River pretty low, strong showers through the day, and a general shortage of surface activity. OB's contribution was managing to miss three nice grayling risen to the dry fly. Meanwhile CB caught the rest on nymphs.

An enjoyable day in many ways in a very nice, interesting beat. The larger trout was about a pound and in excellent condition, taken on a Grey Duster. I had a quite a number of missed rises in the shaded area near the pond. The fish seemed to turn away at the last moment.

Several trout seen rising but very cautious. Showed interest in small grey duster but never connected. One grayling caught on dry fly.

Great days fishing the river had tinge of colour the fish took dry and nymphs readily. Good luck getting the huge oak out of the river it's about mid beat it's not been there long so felt I should report it. Already looking forward to my return visit in the winter.

First time out here for a long overdue recce'. Super water and features and didn't get to see it all! Nothing rising or hatching and turned out to be a bright and hot day so that qualifies for an August dog day. Flicked a klink' and copper john duo around here and there and got a few nnibbles with the trout, 6 to 11 inch. No grayling though but you can see the potential so will definitely be back for more.
