It was 10.5C, which was warmer than a few weeks ago, however the wind which grew in strength as the day worn on was biting. Explored downstream a bit further and was rewarded by one tiny Grayling, however a fish is a fish!

Disappointing. I was looking forward to a day of Grayling fishing but due to heavy overnight rain (much more than I was expecting) the river was high, fast, brown and unfishable. I’d even popped over the day before (Thursday) to check conditions and it looked good… and Friday (today) was all set to be beautiful sunshine, so I booked. I took a short walk up and down and called it a day, at 9am! Next time.

Couldn't find the Grayling and they didn't find me! V Chocolatey but nice to be out

Very cold day -6 when I parked up. Needless to say no activity, but a glorious day, will try again when it warms up a bit.

The river was looking good after all the floods but the grayling were hard to find. We caught lots of out of season trout on heavy nymphs but the grayling were hiding.

Having tried to fish this beat twice before but the weather and conditions meant applying the wash off policy we were hoping for third time luck, no such luck! As the booking was coming to year end we gave it a go, heavy rain the day before again turned the colour to that of strong builders tea and the current was very strong making wading very difficult and in some places dangerous, so we abandoned the trip. Perhaps fourth time lucky?

Tough day but, to be fair, not as tough as expected with storm Agnes bearing down!

The river was clear and running nicely so was anticipating a decent day but struggled to find the fish! Was far too windy to euronymph so ended up on the duo all day trying lots of different nymphs and all 3 brownies were caught on a weighted pink tag thing. There was a 20 minute window of some regular rises but couldn't figure out what they were taking.

Great day in the end to wrap up the trout season despite taking my only fall of the year while rushing at the end of the session!

Not even a knock. Fished 5 until 8pm. So a couple of fish rising around 8pm but otherwise very quiet.
