Decided to head to the Pinsley Brook , two beats , and also the Stretford beat , a private section , but wild and overgrown similar to the Pinsley !!!
No noticeable insect life at twelve , just the odd upwing but nothing substantial , so fished a tiny tungsten nymph and fished all the likely looking trouty places . . . . . Had two small shots , only perhaps four or five inches , but still put up a nice little scrap on a six foot two weight !!!!! Later on on the Stretford Brook , had one long range release , which felt like a good one , but they always do when they come off hey !!!!!!!!!!!!
Lots of backside vegetation really on the go now , this will resemble Belize next month , its a double edged sword really , as it does bring in plenty of fly life so not all bad news .
Water still tinged , should be clearing up by Wednesday or Thursday , will head down to this fun little beats some evening next week , sit and wait to see what happens before wetting a line with a dry .
A pleasant few hours , only interrupted by the RAF playing games above , in there fighters !!! Perhaps a bit of pre IS thinning out training . . . . . Well done lads !!!,
Nice to have a varied couple of weeks , better weather inbound , so fly life should greatly improve . Shall look forward to these cracking little beats again very soon . . . . . . .

A nice brownie from the middle car park section on a size 12 leased stick fly. Fished for four hours and this was the only take. The fish was in excellent condition and swam away strongly.

Had a few enjoyable hours at the above. No fish caught or seen. River perfect I have the habit of losing things at Gromain. Last time it was my pipe and box of flies. This time a box of flies only. Regards Denis

Lovely day but no fish, fished locksters and beats 1 and 5, spinning with Devons and flying 'C'. Water very cold and no fish movement seen at all.

River too high, but 2-3ft visibility, no sign of any fish.

Poor hatch and only a handful of risers in one small 10 minute window during the whole day, a very long drive and nature done us over!
We'll be back!

High wind, and high water - so had to pick my spot. Fish all taken using heavily weighted nymphs on a short line, upstream. Hard work, but fish all looked in fine condition - all between 1 and 2 lbs, and all returned safely.

Had a lovely day out and fished for 3 hours but the river was a little bit too high for me and my buddy as we were both fishing it for the first time and are not yet familiar enough with wading in the stony bottomed areas. We didn't see any fish but that didn't matter as we both thoroughly enjoyed our day.

Same as the day before, no fish caught or seen. Milder weather brought more fly off and there were plenty of trout rising to emergers.
