Only spent 3 hours today on the beat and had 3 Grayling and a Brown Trout to hand. Started with a gold bead red necked ptn without success so switched to a green flash back ptn and what a difference. Second cast and I was into the first Grayling and so it proves it’s always worth experimenting.

A tough but rewarding afternoon on the Eyton beat. More than half the fish were 3/4-1lb, stuffed bellies and plenty of Mayfly about as well as plenty of caddis and different olives, the top end of the beat is very overgrown, not unfishable but well in need of a little pruning with a chainsaw!!
Another great day out, thanks to the W and U, and the beat owners.

Nice sunny day on this pleasant beat.No real fly hatch, probably down to the gusting downstream wind (a bit more than the slight breeze forecast) hence no sign of any surface activity, only saw one decent rise all day, so all fish taken on nymphs.
Thanks to W&U and fishery owner.

Best grayling caught to date but only fish of the day. Nothing rising, plenty of insect life all seemed right but couldnt find the fish.

Level just under 18” on the site, however the river was running reasonably clear. Nothing hatching off so consequently nothing rising. All fish taken on various different nymphs along the beat. Both trout at 8” and the grayling 6”.
Wind picked up at 2 o’clock ish so I packed up and went home happy and content.

DC & GC made a late decision to fish today, the river was running fast and up a few inches from summer level with a greenish tinge, a nice mild overcast day with little wind saw us both opting for duo nymph method. It wasn't easy but rewarding when we finally contacted a few fish.

One thing to think about is the footbridge is getting a bit tired with the wooden slats showing signs of age.
Thanks to W&U and the fishery owner.
