NOTHING CAUGHT.
NO BITES AT ALL.
TOOK MY 9YEAR GRANDSON TO TRY AND GET HIM INTERESTED IN FISHING.
TERRIBLE AND BORING DAY.
HE SAID HE DIDN'T WANT TO GO AGAIN.
SO SAD.
DEFINITELY NOT WORTH THE £24.50 I PAID.

Water a bit clearer but still running high, no surface activity, fished mainly nymphs, trying to get deep but the flow of the current made it difficult, struggled to find any fish!

We battled the wind all day and saw very few rises. Alas no fish and retired early.

3 Trout, 4 Grayling

Given the river conditions we decided to head up the catchment…. But even that didn’t save us the river came up 6” throughout the day … not a good recipe for the fish to be settled or for us to wade, which is essential on this beat.

There was plenty of fly life ranging from tiny sedges to mayflies and there were brief periods when the fish were rising … we managed to winkle out 4 trout between 4 and 15 inches. Might only have been 3 fish unless one had a distinctive body double!

The main excitement was when JB hooked a 4 “ fish only to find his rod bending double … it was seized by an Irfon whopper who posed for a photo before letting go…. The plucky tiddler was unharmed.

Fished after few days of rain, lower beat. No luck. Various wet flys.

One of those days I guess. Several tugs on the nymph but couldnt connect with any. Broke my rod D'oh! Steady trickle of upwings coming off most of the day but didn't see a sungle rise. Had a nice chat with an angler who was fishing the adjacent beat who had had better luck than me.
