River at a good level - had to search to find the grayling but best was a good 40cm all caught fishing close to the bottom

1 Trout, 6 Grayling

River was at an ok height reading 0.56 at Cilmery gauge, but the clarity of the water was really poor and
pretty much killed the fishing (my excuse anyway!). Fished euro nymph and duo without touching a fish even after slinging a squirmy worm at them. Stunning beat with a good mix of water and good accessibility.

River still very high after weeks of rain

1 out of season trout.

Was luckly with the water levels (.8 at Cilmery) – a little higher than I’d have liked, but it was more than fishable. Mostly out of season trout to nymphs, but when the sun broke through the heavy rain clouds, a few fish started rising and a beatiful 17.5” grayling put a huge smile on my face, having taken my tiny traditional grayling dry fly. A beatiful stretch of water, the grayling might be few and far between, but if you catch one, it’s usually a specimen.

Didn't manage to start fishing until after mid day ,river was completely different from 2 weeks ago then 0.895 at Cilmery today 0.475. fished for maybe 1.5 hrs without a nibble so change to a pink headed pheasant tail within 3 casts got a small grayling with didn't make the net then hooked on to a good size grayling 17" plus (which did make the net) no more than 3 casts after first had got off. Both where in a deeper gully. left lunch in the car but didn't forgot the can of "Veltins" out of date lager( what a surprise)which i consumed on the river bank. fished until 2.45pm not another bite. Back at the car ate my last of the season tomatoes with Cheddar and half a French stick. Went home feeling very pleased with myself.
I am sure a better angler would have caught more , a beautiful stretch of river will be back.
