Fished for salmon by fly, despite low level (10"). Blank day for both of us

1 Trout

Four brown trout caught on spiders. One grayling caught on an experimental attempt at tight line nymphing. Cold downstream wind made the water feel warm in comparison.

Fished 8 till 5 . A foggy start and then unabated sunshine (yuck!). Water now cooling at 11 degrees. Some pale wateries from about 9 and some midge about during the day plus a few yellow mays and stonefly. No rising fish until after 12 . There weren't many, but what there were, stopped at about 2.30, with a few more showing about two hours later. Had the risers and other non-risers on Goran's Sedge and a small HE emerger. Had a couple of the ladies and the 12" trout on heavy bugs and a tiny PW nymph fished duo. Grayling 10-15 inches. Abernant is a great spot to fish and many thanks to the owner for making access up the top half of the beat so safe and tangle-free!

7hrs fishing as a beginner under excellent tuition from Oliver Burch. Pulled out 1 baby salmon, a nice little brown trout, and 5 grayling including a 12” and a 14”. Most success on dry fly in the change of pace zone in upper half of the beat.

First time on this river, anywhere, had a day fishing whilst on holiday in the area.
Weather was bright sunshine with a medium to strong intermittent breeze.
I didn’t catch anything but enjoyed the day

No rises seen, a lot of algae on the bed of the river, not sure of the health of the river. A warm and sunny day made it all very pleasant.
