nice to look at this beat this year nothing seen or caught

River was flowing but definitely not as fast as I was expecting after all the storms pre Christmas. Ended up fishing at the wrong pools for Grayling all day but only realised after bumping into a local as I was packing up for the day, but will be back to try again for sure!

Looking at the weather forecast we suspected a nice day … and so it came to pass . Prolonged periods of sunshine showed the river at its best … it is low, but the bed is cleaner than it has been all season.

A few fish were rising and prepared to come to a fly … as were many others who were not seen rising! 24 grayling to hand , mostly 7-9 inchers but a few up to 15 inches. All on dries - we both fished the same fly all day, no need to change. Wonderful fishing.

The wildlife was good too …. Buzzards kites egret heron and deer seen. That’s it for us now for this year, looking at the forecast for next week high water will return, hopefully to get the salmon and trout safely upstream. Thanks for another great seasons fishing.
