Water was too high and flowing too quickly to have confidence that the nymphs were presenting well.

2 Grayling

Strange day. We caught no fish in the morning except for a large, out of season trout weighing in at about 5lb, caught on a small tungsten beaded nymph fished deep in the head of a pool. After lunch the fishing seemed to really turn on and we took a number of grayling, all to nymphs. The "hot spot" was between 2:30pm and 3:30pm when all the grayling were caught.

1 Trout, 15 Grayling

The Oos trout were more active than the Grayling today. Tricky wading with the surface glare from the winter light on this rocky beat.

River unfishable - too dangerous to wade, despite little obvious rain for some days. Did not even cast a line.

Difficult conditions with 2' on the Erwood guage. Managed to find one or wadeable spots: just above the hut and down on the ferry pool.

Water was too high to take full advantage of the whole beat.

The river was still a bit high for the fly, with a foot of water over the planks throughout the beat. Even so, I was surprised to not have a single offer in four hours fishing, using a variety of conventionally presented,and high sticked nymphs. A leaf or two every other cast didn’t help but a very quiet day today.

No catch

Nothing seen or caught.
Did see 3 otters in playing in the reeds outside the cottage.
