A combination of not making it to the river until 1430 and my own inability to fish resulted in one grayling. Caught on a size 12 shrimp. My first time to this beat so learning the pools. A bit of colour to the water but still fairly clear and easily wadeable.

Fantastic scenery and a really nice stretch of river. Good mix of deep pools and fast riffles to make the Fishing varied and interesting. Average stamp of grayling about 6 inches but managed to winkle out 3 over a pound each. Most fish coming below the bridge.

Started at bottom of beat and fished all likely holes up to the beat's end, caught two on dry fly rest on nymphs apart from 5, 3-4" graylings the rest were all a decent size including two at 40cm enjoyed the day even though the weather never really warmed up.

Mild with light winds. No surface activity and all fish came to nymph patterns. Shared the river with several kingfishers.

River up a little following overnight rain but still low. 5 grayling all about 8'' on F fly and 1 trout 12'' on black magic nymph. Dull and overcast.

The river is still low but clear. Despite the persistent rain it fished pretty well. There were a lot of tiny grayling willing to take a fly and a few of their bigger brothers, including a double header. Successful flies were a gold bead ptn and a shrimp pattern.

River still relatively low and clear. Quite a few grayling rising. Caught 4 to a dry fly and lost many more!
Spent a great day fishing with an old school friend. This is a lovely beat and one we shall definitely return to at a future date.

Firstly my sincere apology to mr V.C from Holmfirth, I found his rod and reel.....well my car did, it ran over the reel and squashed it ! , how it missed the rod I will never know . I hid it behind my car just in case someone came back for it , and on my return it had gone ( his friend collected it ) again very sorry!. as to the fishing , well I caught loads of small grayling ( only 19 over 8") and 5 oos trout up to 12". the biggest grayling was 12". the water was very clear and nearly spot produced.( could`nt fish near the cottage) all fish caught euro nymphing, didnt see a single fish rise!
