Was luckly with the water levels (.8 at Cilmery) – a little higher than I’d have liked, but it was more than fishable. Mostly out of season trout to nymphs, but when the sun broke through the heavy rain clouds, a few fish started rising and a beatiful 17.5” grayling put a huge smile on my face, having taken my tiny traditional grayling dry fly. A beatiful stretch of water, the grayling might be few and far between, but if you catch one, it’s usually a specimen.

With the river at 3.3m we took on the hill and found only one decent fishable swim. With the river so high we had to settle on three fish and losing a fish last cast that went off like a steam train. In the last hour before dusk, barbel were porpoising all over the swim which meant we left a little frustrated.
