5 Grayling

Really great to be on this challenging but rewarding beat again. Met the owner and she was so helpful and welcoming with great advice. Some tricky wading in parts... I prefer a staff.

Some lovely fish in this beat.

A beautiful scenic beat. Was having one of those days, nothing had risen to my dries, my waders sprung a leak, felt fell off a boot and the zip broke on my bag. Then I bumped into Rachel who put me on to Sean who pointed me in the right direction regards tactics and location. Heeding Sean’s advice I changed to a dry dropper set up and immediately things started to improve but my reactions were too slow. Eventually I got up to speed and after a spectacular battle with much leaping I landed a 18 inch plus grayling. A resplendent cock fish with large flame edged sail. Had to miss out on any evening rise but I can’t wait to return and thoroughly recommend this beat. Thanks again to owners.

1 Grayling

Fished from 12 till 7pm. Water temperature was a refreshing 13.8 deg at the start.
Alternated between dries and nymphs, and caught 9 brown trout between 9" and 13" and 5 grayling between 12" and 17". The grayling were measured against my 15" landing net. Not much rising but a mix of 9 trout and grayling came to a dry fly fished around likely spots, with the other 5 on nymphs. Fished were caught in every pool, from the bottom to the top of the beat. Good day.

Two of us fished for about 5 hours and caught some amazing 40+ cm graying and a few pound+ trout.
More than enough river for a long weekend

Very few rises due to weather but managed to get a few fish to the surface.
Could not recommend fishing here enough

Another hot and bright day, but water temperature ok (about 16 C) and the fish prepared to rise opportunistically. 6 grayling to 14", and 3 trout to 12", on owner Shaun's generic dry/emerger (14) and mainly on Euro-nymph. I'm sure I could have caught a lot more on the latter if I'd been competent.

A second great day the wading is a little more challenging but worth the effort fish came to a mix of dries and nymphs. The heat still making the fishing challenging duing the high of the day hatches coming off in the evening far better
