Lovely morning with 6 grayling (6-10inches) on a mixture of nymphs and drys

6 Grayling

River still running quite low. A good hatch of Olives with Grayling rising. Six Grayling brought to the net. Black Spider and GRHE. Great beat!

6 Grayling

Fished from 8 until midday, started long line nymphing and picked up a few grayling in the deeper pools then fish started rising so I switched to a dry fly and had a lot of fun sight fishing to targeted fish in the low clear water. The trout seem to have gone into hiding.

Day was warm and bright and left at 4pm, but thoroughly enjoyable if challenging fishing.

Only had about three hours today but three Grayling took a small Hair's Ear Nymph. Beat was very low despite the recent rain. I didn't try below the bridge as I ran out of time.

3 Grayling

Single small grayling taken on a black spider. River still low after dry summer but a touch of colour after overnight rain.

1 Grayling

Similar amount of fish as on yesterday’s beat but smaller sizes. Was very difficult fishing this beat, poor access and the house had a large family there canoing through the river at lunchtime.
Wasn’t impressed to be honest but managed some fish

I had high hopes having read recent reports of big number catches and action on dries, so was a bit frustrated that it felt hard work to interest the fish and I could only tempt them with nymphs - half taken under a klink in shallower stretches and half much deeper, which was where the bigger fish seemed to be. There or tucked away - the best fish came from under a log in fast water. But there we are: all stunning looking fish, two other were parr. Great beat, will be back.
