Early morning session, finished at 11am.

To note 2 groups of day trippers on river in inflatable boats. Owner aware and taking pictures.

4 Trout, 6 Grayling

River was low and clear….. and fish were not their usual co-operative selves! We fished right up the beat for 6 trout and 1 grayling – nothing too big. The grayling really don’t seem to have got going yet, pretty well conspicuous by their absence. Mrs Otter paid us a visit last knockings – and am afraid the dreaded knotweed is back, will send an email with location for the habitat team. But still a wonderful beat to be on.

6 Trout, 1 Grayling

A picturesque beat but access is difficult in places . during the afternoon a canoe scraped through the water which obviously did not improve the fishing . I feel that reasoning with these people is a waste of time action is needed . However , the landing of a beautiful brownie early evening lifted the spirits . the fish was well over 2 lb . All fish returned alive .

2 Grayling caught and returned - 1 (about 1 lb) early in the day and 2 (bigger fish - nearer 2 lbs) late in the day. Both on small nymphs - 1 olive and 1 pheasant tail.
Conditions were very good. Water level was ok. Nice warm day with light cloud. Lovely stretch of water.

2 Grayling

Beautiful stretch of river. The wading was difficult at low water, cannot imagine what it would be like with any sort of flow. Very few fish seen rising.
