Great day but very windy water starting to loose colour but now rising again .

Sadly blankety blank for me today. Tough conditions and packed up at 3pm when the wind became just too much. Tried many swims, tactics and baits but not even a knock all day.

Hard work in the cold wind but at least I didn’t blank. One of the grayling was a nice c.1lb male

Just the one chub today. River was in great condition. Cold but fish came to ledgered luncheon meat.

Two Grayling from the dropoff at the tail of Lady Alexanders. Took the middle dropper of a heavy Euronymph trio. Ice in the margins of the river and an upstream breeze made the forecast 5 degrees feel much colder.

Should be advertised as single bank fishing, even with levels at summer low there’s no way of crossing the river to fish the left bank. Small section of river, not for the adventurer.

Fishing Passport Note : It is always worth mentioning a double bank fishery. Anglers will fish in the knowledge no-one will be fishing opposite.

Great to be back on one of my favourite beats. It was unusual to see the water so low and crystal clear, especially this time of year. A gusty wind made for challenging fishing with the French leader, but I managed to fish the majority of the beat. As the light faded, I’d caught just 2 small grayling shots and 2 oos trout (one was a lovely fish around the 2lb mark). This is an interesting beat, but take care amongst the bedrock, felt soles and a wading staff are advisable!
