No fish today, as was expected but nice to spend a couple of hours on the river on the first day of the year. Took the family and my little boy (20 months old) held a fly rod and tracked the flies through the water with me for the first time :). Water high and coloured (20" on the Lugg cam gauge). Tried Czech nymphing through the deeper pools.

River high. 3 grayling on weighted nymphs. Would like to try again when conditions better on this very good stretch of river.

Part of the enjoyment for me is seeing rivers throughout the seasons. Sometimes the fish are easier than others. Today was at the harder end of the spectrum. The two of us fished methodically mainly with short-line nymph tactics. We had a few bites just after first light with one landed and one lost but then nothing until last light when we had four as it was getting dark.
Worth knowing that the parking area is pretty muddy so a bit of planning needed when tackling up.

Water very muddy.3 hours fishing no fish caught.

Passing through heavy rain the day before warned us that fishing might be difficult and so it proved. However, having travelled a long way, we were determined to give it a go. River was rising and already quite coloured when we got there. In the end, using French leaders and nymphs, we managed two grayling from clearer parts of water and enjoyed the day in lovely surroundings.

Very enjoyable day on a nice beat. Grayling up to 1lb caught on nymph flies on sections with drop off to deeper sections.
