Pleasant couple of hour by the river, the one grayling unhooked itself, and one OST caught and released promptly. both caught on Nymph. River levels have dropped, and running clearer, but it is still running fast.

Barbel fishing in the morning using rolling weights and meat. Nymphing for Grayling for an hour or two pm.
Nothing caught apart from a few OOS trout.

O/S trout caught during unsuccessful barbel trip.

cold, clear and falling river...so i kind of expected it would be a chub day and went armed with plenty of bread and cheese. plenty of fussy little bites in the morning and 6 chub around 1-2lb mark. then 4 hours of total stillness - and then had six decent fish 3-4lb in late afternoon. Most came to bread - either on float or feeder - fished the first couple of swims in the woods. kingfisher sat within yards of me picking off fry at my feet...he was way quicker than my phone's camera!

A hard day, probably due to the fact it was minus four when we arrived. That said, with the river in good order and falling slowly we hoped the Chub might show at least - we rotated the usual swims but with no interest. Having settled into a nice looking swim for the last couple of hours MP saved the day with a late Chub of around four pounds. A beautiful place to be whatever the outcome. Note: The swim beneath the trees just downstream of the croy has a feeder and a significant amount of line hanging in it (not ours) which partly inhibits casting here. It is still fishable but take care and look up!.

Arrived early with -4 degree temperature. River was falling and looked great but the water was extremely cold. Fished all day in a swim I did well in 3 weeks ago but unfortunately not a single bite this time.
Need to keep an eye on temperatures in the future but it was still great being out by the river.

It was -3 deg C when I arrived so wasn’t expecting a great deal. Fished three swims at the upper end for 3 chub to 5lb on GB feeder and meat and one on maggot / feeder. A well maintained beat thanks to Stefan.

Just fished the morning roving about, the river was low but starting to rise, the sun was out but probably made the fishing tough, just 2 chub caught.
