Spent 4 hours from 9-1 on this beautiful little stream... but it was hard work! We hadn't had any rain for approx 5-6 weeks, but yesterday (Weds) it rained all day, so I was hoping that it would freshen things up. It did, but levels were still understandably low. My first time out since last season, and I felt like a beginner. Lots of trees down and low branches to snag on, but that's just how it is on the small streams. Pretty cold still, especially when the sun went in after about 10am. Gave it one walk through, not many fishable spots. Caught two early on by the yurt, one was a decent size of about 12". No luck after that. The two deeper pools gave me nothing. Nymph off a Klinkhammer. Very nice to be out and on a river (stream) again.

2 out of season grayling, very healthy and of just under 1lb (ish). Taking the dry fly. Also lost another 2 on the dry.

Great beat, although it is difficult underfoot while wading, it's manageable if you're without physical restrictions. You definitely need studs/felt and a Wading stick for stability and checking depth in front of you.

More challenging is the access to the water. If you're not able to climb down difficult banks, or willing to plough through overgrown trees and bushes this one might not be for you. There is no obvious path and quite a lot of river that doesn't have bankside access. Pools are accessible via the water, but as mentioned be prepared to go steady and slow with water getting past your waist quite quickly if you get a bit too confident!

One of those beats that could be fabulous if someone tackled the access to the water.

Hopefully that helps others. I'd go back as the pools are great and plenty of fish activity.. I'm sure they weren't all Greyling!

Bright sunny day but still cool and the water low and cold. Not a single rising fish seen but managed a few grayling on a small purple tungsten glitzy nymph. Didn’t see anything hatching and not even any terrestrials around. Still great fun and a lovely beat
