A mixed day, river low and perfect fishing weather after a cool night. Wonderful surroundings, kingfishers and leaping salmon - it's not all about catching!
Fish came to a variety of baits and tactics maggot on the stickfloat for many minnows, the brownie and the chub (2lb and 4lb). Barbel all came on ledgered/ swimfeeder bait, much better sport later in the day.
A cordial visit from Don helped no end. Thank you, we'll be back.

Waters in perfect conditions. Beautiful and very secluded area. No rain but windy morning. Unfortunately very few grayling seen, none caught. Trout were nice size been most around 28-32cm and one 41cm (approx 16 inches), half of them with small nymph on a tandem and half on dry small olive ephemera when raising in the evening when wind calmed down.
First time to fish the beat and unfortunately only fished the lower part of the beat with very still and slow currents. I visited later the upper part and seem more varied water.

17 x grayling 10-15 inches, 5 x out of season trout 9-14 inches. A slow morning after a cold misty start and, although pale wateries were hatching, nothing was rising. Use of a team of nymphs only produced unwanted trout. However, things livened up after about 1 o'clock and the grayling, mostly in the 12-14 inch range, were all taken during the afternoon on a dry Grayling Steel Blue. This part of the valley looks absolutely gorgeous in the sunshine at the moment - wonderful colours.

River flowing well and coloured after rain early in week. 4 small barbel up to a couple of pounds caught within an hour in mid-afternoon. After that nothing before it got dark.
