Not been here for 3 years , great to be back . Incredibly mild day , river looking perfect .
First fish within seconds of casting , and then a nice steady flow throughout the afternoon. No real lunkers today but great sport none the less . All barbel around the 6lb mark , biggest chub at 4lb . All caught on pellet and feeder . Not bad for 5 hours fishing .
Looking forward to returning in the summer

Finally managed to rebook a wash off from September. At 1.11m on the NRW Erwood Gauge, the river was a little high but very clear and very fishable.

Most of the grayling looked identical at about 10”, but a couple might have stretched to 12”. All caught on nymphs, either under a dry fly or straight lined. A few fish splashed at the dry fly, but nothing stuck. The grayling were hard to find, seldom catching two in the same place. All fish returned.

A group of about 10 canoes came through in the morning, and 3 paddle boards in the afternoon.

12 Grayling

All fish caught on nymphs in top section of beat. Nothing of any size. All 8” to 10”. River very clear.
