Amazing day for which 5 Grayling does not tell the whole story. I run off between French nymphing, dry fly and float fished maggot was won by the float fishing. All 5 were in the 1 -1/2 to 2lb class, the best estimated to be just over 2lb and one fish was quite dark with signs of historic Comorant damage, the rest all brightly coloured and clearly capable of growing bigger. Looking forward to returning to this beat, focusing on heavy bugs and dry fly next time.

River quite high and pushing through, still plenty of colour so plumped for a day of trotting. Just one Chub with not so much as a nibble from anything else despite plenty of playing around with the set up. Great stretch but too high today to get the best out of it.

River on the rise following recent rain. Fished nymphs but not reaching the bottom as some deep holes along this stretch. A few misses. No fish on the surface despite a hatch of olives late afternoon.

I fishing this beat the previous day and the water level was up but today it was too high to wade so my fishing was very limited and I didn't get a bite.

The river was rising quickly and had lots of leaves in the water so there fishing was difficult!

Arrived at 10 to find the valley shrouded in mist. River was showing just over 0.5 on the Cilmery gauge. Parked up at the lower parking spot. After a quick recce and a chat with the owner, I made my way down to the river. I'd brought my 11' nymphing outfit, but the whole of the beat is more suited to a shorter rod. Next time it'll be the 8'. Managed 5 grayling, largest was 14", smallest 3"and 1 o.o.s. trout of 12" from a 10yd stretch in the gutter at the botom of the beat.Then nothing until a deep hole above the house where another trout of 16". By now the mist had gone and the sun was high in the sky.
Fantastic setting, definitely will return.
2 Trout, 5 Grayling
