Brilliant day, 9 grayling to the net all in the space of 2 hours then the bite went off. Estimated between 500g and 1.8lb. Fished a total of 5 hours. River is beautiful, fantastic scenery and great fun even with no wading permitted there are some swims fishable from the bank. Method was mostly euronymphing they went for a self invented and tied nymph pattern with one fish caught on klink and dink PTN nymph.

River quite low and running clear, grayling caught (largest 10") on most of the beat along with a few OS WBT (largest 12") n superb condition - trotting maggot. Great day fishing

Invited by my old friend Dave Manning to try a day trotting for grayling. I hadn't tried the method for over 15 years but had recently picked up an old Bruce and Walker 12 ft float rod for a song on ebay so was keen to try it out. Most enjoyable day on the picturesque Lypole beat with the water at a lovely height and colour. Dave managed 16 grayling and 7 oos trout, with 14 grayling and 6 trout for me, trotting maggots. Grayling full spectrum size, from a 4" fingerling to about 1.5lbs. Great day. Will return with a fly rod in the trout season.

The fishing was tough with high pressure moving in from the east, but a very enjoyable day in beautiful countryside. Best graying just over 1lb, all fish on trotted maggot.
