First time at Eyton. From mid-morning onwards, and much like the last two months, it was very windy indeed. Some mayfly emerged in the afternoon, but there was little evidence of any fish clonking the emergers. Fished various bits of water with usually successful mayfly emergers and, much as expected, raised nothing! A couple of yellow mays and the occasional emerging sedge and that was about it. Not surprisingly, given the general lack of fly and unabated wind, there were few rising fish. Two trout of 10-12" and four 8-9" grayling was all I could come up with and all to a small black F fly and hare's ear emerger. No joy on the nymph. Watched a clonking brownie nymphing under the bridge - guesstimated at well over two pounds. Will come back on a better day with a few inches more water to what appears to be a lovely beat.

Fished this beat for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It really is a delightful spot. The weather was kind, the fly life immense including plenty of late mayfly hatching. Our lack of experience probably mitigated against good catches but the 6inch grayling were rising all day to tiny black flies. Only 1 trout caught and 8 grayling between us, all 6 to 8 inches. Did spot a grayling not much short of 3lbs in the pool just downsteream of the footbridge but alas it wasn't interested!

Total haul of 5 trout on mayfly and 4 grayling on black gnats. Trout to 13", grayling to 8".

A few hours between 11am and 3pm. Lots of rises, a number of takes, 0 landed! Lovely beat!

Started fishing at 1pm and had fantastic day with immediate success. 6 x WBT: 1 x 6", 5 x 10-14" providing great sport. All caught on small GHHEN all fish returned safely.

Tricky wind. 1 x grayling and 1 x trout caught - both around 10" and taken on a GRHE. Fish rose to the dry but didn't connect. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

The weather was foul (heavy rain and blustery wind) but the fishing was surprisingly good. The surroundings are simply stunning and the river is wonderful. Oh and the fish?! Despite my bungling efforts and the awful conditions 2 WBT came to the net (both about 9 inches) - one to a spangly nymph and one to a klink. The rain did stop eventually and there was a modest evening rise with most fish taking emergers. Lost a grayling that what would have been a PB by a long way. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to make the trek again - sorry darling!

A day of sun and heavy showers and cool - only 10 deg by late afternoon. Enough fish rising to keep the interest up all the time I was there. Olives, sedges and midges especially just after the rain and a few mayflies.
6 browns to just over a pound and one small grayling - all on a dry fly.

16 WBT plus quite a few grayling. Good average size of trout, biggest 14", grayling biggest 10". Had to work quite hard for the fish but better weather than earlier in the week, less wind and warmer made a difference with a fair few flies including mayflies, but lots of rises seemed to be to emergers. Most caught on small klinkhammers, Adams and the odd big mayfly pattern.
Shared a lovely day with a heron, herd of bullocks, a mink and a very nice gentleman who apparently had permission to fish for grayling from the "colonel".

Water low. Each rod caught two fish (grayling and chub) (2 grayling). Caught on CDC olive nymphs. Our first time at this fishery. We had an excellent day and will return soon to try and land the very large fish lost from one the the fine runs.
