Forecast suggested it would be warmer, clearly the weather gods didn’t get memo as it was pretty brisk all morning….so much for Saharan dust and warmth!
River clearing and whilst fishable, was only dropping slowly and pushing through strongly, so plenty of caution required to avoid impromptu switch to wild swimming.

One OoS trout with second cast, quickly returned, a good size if a little slim.

Tried the deeper, slower spots on the meadow stretch and caught a great grayling, powerful and in great condition. So effort rewarded, another fun few hours on the Dee.

1st trip to this section,spent more time looking than fishing . River looked in good condition carry extra water and a tinge of colour. No fish caught few areas noted to try in future visits.

Two Chub on ledgered meat, river was dropping all day.

River level still a bit high after recent rains, with some colour, so I wasn’t too optimistic. Spent some time searching for fishable swims. No fish until after midday, then caught two lovely grayling, one just over 2lb, one just under, from the same swim, trotting red maggot. Nothing else except for 3 small trout.

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.
