Trout weighed in at 4lb

1 Trout, 2 Grayling, 4 Chub

Low clear river on arrival .. trotting ted maggots .. 3xost. Then by 11am the river coloured up significantly - a colour best described as milky !! No more bite and river crept up throughout day .. very little rain on journey to venue from Shropshire and no significant puddles so not sure what caused the colour/ rise ?? I walked all way to sewage works and noted water cascading in to main from an outfall near water plant .. not sure if this is always the case or whether it was reason for milky colour … either way in terms of grayling fishing it dire .

Fishing for Pike, but no success. One dropped run all day. River was very low for this time of year.

6 grayling including 2 over 2lb. Red maggot on float. Great day. Thanks!

A good day to be out, best grayling was 2lb and lost another of similar size at the net. Good parking and easy walk to river. All I would say is much of the river is un-fishable due to overgrown banks and fallen trees. A few swims that are OK for trotting at the bottom end but the entire top half was impossible to fish.

One grayling to a straggle nymph and a couple of other touches in the run below the island. Moved to the mill stream after lunch and one touch to a goldhead pink grub.

1 Grayling

River quite low for time of year which may have limited the number of swims suitable for trotting a float. One particular hot spot produced 5 fine grayling to 2lb 4oz but could not find another along the stretch. Physically demanding day for those of senior years.

River running clear , down to 1’2” on the gauge. Very cold and fished a light salmon/switch rod mainly from the bank to keep wading to a minimum. 3 1/2 hours long line nymphing produced a few fish , but takes were sporadic and all the fish were small.
