Lovely day on the river!

1 Trout, 2 Grayling

Stayed at the Bell ( recommended ) and you can walk the beat from there. Really lovely river although very low as you would expect at the end of summer. The top end of the beat by the bridge in the village is a favoured spot for local bathers - so avoid that if the sun's out ! Several pools along this 1 mile stretch but very little activity throughout the day. I wandered out just before dark again to take a look but nothing coming to the surface. Just one of these days - a couple of smaller trout by nymph but nothing to write home about. Will definitely go back

All fish caught on dry flies parachute Adams or Similar.
Beat is in great condition with lots of activity, spotted lots of trout and hooked up a few but sadly none landed

A pleasant day and a lovely stretch of river.
1 grayling caught at the bottom end of the beat (by the big house) on a GRHE, and a chub took a dry fly later on.
Had a number of splashy takes which just seemed to evaporate into nothing but I couldn't work out why.

I got a bit stuck trying to walk up following the information sent. Access to the river along the side opposite the pub is far easier, following the public footpath all the way to the end of the beat. There are a number of obvious (and easy) routes down to the river at suitable points - obviously a well worn bear.

Beautiful stretch of river. Nothing seen on the surface. No hatch. No bites.
