Feedback & Reports

lovely day to fish, water at a half decent level and plenty of fly on the water but the grayling did not rise all day. fished duo at the heads of the pools and all fell to size 14 4mm tungsten bead on the dropper. Nothing interested with the size 16 or 18 on the point. All grayling between 12-17 inches and trout to 14 inches. A lovely beat with some excellent water but the wading is as stated, extremely difficult .

Oh my, oh my!... disaster! I made my way to this beat and was very impressed at what I saw: riffles, glides, gutters pools, one grayling to hand in first 10 minutes of 16 inches. Then I noticed the water colouring very fast and huge amount of debris. I walked the length of the beat and what looked like very fishy water was engulfed by a raging torrent and that was that. This is great grayling water, sadly far to dangerous to enter the water when you have never fished it before.

The river was clear and the trees were staring turn into there autumn colours, so a good time to be on the water.
Had one oos trout on a nymph in the morning. There was little surface activity but when I changed to a 16 CDC & Elk in the afternoon the grayling came up,they were holding on the edge of the fast water and very willing to rise. Catching fish on a dry in Oct always seems like a bonus, so 8 grayling between 12" & 14 made for a very pleasant afternoon.
Many Thanks LB

Though I've not fished it a lot I find Doldowlod very reliable for a few grayling in Autumn. With the forecast east wind pretty much non existent it was quite mild and there were a few flies hatching when I started at 1pm so it was a good sign to catch a 10" grayling in the first few casts at the downstream limit of the beat. Very few fish showed at the surface but did seem to be feeding as I caught fish steadily through the afternoon. I mostly stuck to the relatively shallow faster water rather than the slow moving flats or gutters. Almost all fish took a weighted red tag on the point, one or two took an olive spider on the middle dropper. Most fish were around the 12" mark with a couple at 14". The two out of season trout were about 10".

River a little higher than when I fished it on Monday, clear enough so that I could still see my feet in knee high water, but it was running through quite fast. Fished the same style and areas I did earlier in the week but with some added bad luck, I lost 4 good size grayling in the fast water due to hook pulls. grayling to 12" and trout to 10".
