Two anglers fishing Euro nymphing technique. No fish caught.

The river was quite high and coloured during the morning session at 0.8 on the Cimeri gauge, clarity improved as the day progressed and the river dropped to around 0.73.

River was up chocolate brown in colour & pushing through, though it did start to drop throughout the day, tried 4 swims, settled in the bottom swim with the big slack, the only one I could get any bites in, couple of Chub to robin red pellets was the reward although just being out in the sun was nice.

Started and ended with biblical wind and rain….not best for fly fishing! However we eked out three grayling in the two hours in the intervening period, then an early lunch and bovril.

3 Grayling

A good day despite the mixed weather. 3 beautiful grayling of 2lb, 2lb 2oz and 2lb 4oz. No smaller fish seen. Plus 5 oos trout. All caught on trotted red maggots. One of favourite grayling rivers, thank you to the owner.
