River very full. 1 grayling on nymph

1 Grayling

winter it was but not grayling. Tried the deeper pockets of water with deep bugs as nothing seen. As wind increased leaves became a problem. May give it another try in a couple of weeks when not so low and clear .

River pretty low despite the amount of water than went through recently. There was a lot of debris about, some natural and some not. Lots of plastic strewn in and around the river. There were two spots where a few grayling were evident, but there was no sign of salmon or trout at all. It's clear there are some fine spawning areas, but not a single fish to use them.

The river had dropped back after the recent high water and was running clear.
Heavy fog kept the hatching insects down until later afternoon.
Good parking, access and easy wading (although from this time of year on keep an eye open for salmon redds
and it's probably best to avoid where you can't clearly see the bottom)
Most of the fish came to swung spiders. Partridge and orange, and Black and Peacock worked best.
Later in the day there were a few rising fish and a couple of grayling did rise to dries.
A very pleasant day on a lovely piece of water
Many Thanks

Storm Callum arrived shortly after kick off !! Water was brown and flow too heavy to fish by midday.

River conditions good.

River was in good condition and the promised rain didn’t show up. It was overcast and 19 degrees. My first time on this beat and I would recommend it. I fished the middle and down stream section. There is a good variety of water from fast runs to deeper pools but rather easy wading. I fished a New Zealand rig with black klinkhammer and red and black nymph. Caught 4 fit grayling in the deeper water to about a pound and regrettably an out season trout to a pound and a half in the faster water. All returned without them being taken out of the water

low water, no activity at all.

The river level had dropped back to near summer level and with a cold start and a sunny day the fishing was not easy. I spent the morning getting to know the bottom half of the beat and picked up a couple of Grayling on nymphs. The afternoon was spent casting a Klinkhammer under the trees on the far bank for a few more fish.

Grayling est 1lb. Difficult fishing due to strong up stream wind and low water, will visit again.
