Our glorious summer goes on. Come mid-afternoon, it was maybe too hot for fishing but, nay bother as, with an early start, I was ready for home by then. Some nice Grayling - fish of 12" plus - from the bottom of the beat. Ditto from Lady Alexanders Catch. The odd fish upstream before a close encounter with an enormous Barbel up by the Edw. Note to self - a 4 wt rod and a tennis racket sized landing net are not the ideal tools for dealing with a double figure Barbel. Tres bonne

Good fishing with nymphs in the morning, but suddenly completely cut off during the afternoon until early evening when mostly grayling start raising in the pocket water left. Missed a lot, but still good fishing. On a dry got also this healthy and coloured WBT, more than a pound in weight

Water very low and also a still day with barely a ripple on the water. In these testing conditions, and with no fish showing, tied on a small weighted GRHE nymph and took one small brownie. Still, a beautiful afternoon's fishing with my 10 year-old son who was entranced by the whole experience.

Another great day on this beat... 15+ BT and 25+ graylings, all fished with long French Leader. Good fly life, but any fish raising. Fish of the day the beautiful WBT in the picture: not for the size (around 1,5 pound) but fat and pretty healthy fish. Safely released
