Larger grayling caught on spiders and foam beetles, small trout and 2 grayling caught on Czech nymph leader with single hairs ear nymph.
All catches were in the Channels...a beautiful stretch of water and great fishing.

Hard work with nymphs, dry fly saved the day, Goosander spotted may have put fish down.

Cracking days fishing, most fish caught in the gullies by one angler. Stunning beat and lots of strong healthy grayling, all of which caught were over 2lb biggest around 3. Would use this beat again, Saw a large trout with a 6oz roach in its mouth sulking around the margins.

Difficulty using the parking at the sawmill on the southern end of the fishery.
There were already 2 vehicles parked and the owner/operator of the sawmill was very unhappy about a third vehicle.
So parked at northern spot instead, no problem for me.

Never really got going today; with the paucity of fish being largely down to doing the wrong things at the wrong time. Apart from a couple of tiddlers, the fish were a decent size; Trout to 12" and Grayling to 14". A combination of French nymphing, conventional nymph fishing and dry fly; with most of the fish on nymphs. A brief encounter with something much bigger; which will live in the
memory long after all the others are forgot

Heavy rain but river low and clear. Not many fish showing but they were there, Grayling (1/2lb max) all came to dry fly and trout (3/4lb) to ptn. Good variety of water to fish across a long beat though access difficult through wooded section and stiles over fences decrepit.

Only two rods fished.
Hot and dry again – so we planned to fish well up the river on a favourite beat. The fish were not in the usual places….we started at the top end without too much success, so transferred down to the sawmill stretch and pretty soon located the fish. 28 in total, all but two were grayling and up to the usual standard – only a few under 12”, most 12 -15” but best two 18 & 20”. All on dries . A great day.
