Fly Fishing, golden headed buzzers/ Nymphs. All caught in the lower pool.

13 Chub

Well, we certainly arranged the weather for fishing again, seems the days we pick have been very wet this year. However the fish didn't seem to mind. Fish were taken throughout the beat on either upstream nymphs or spiders fished down and across.
This is a very well maintained beat with relatively easy access, care needed when wading as there are some troublesome and slippery boulders hiding away. It was fabulous to share the beat with an otter who regular showed but didn't seem to be bothered by our presence. Plenty of birds taking the flies that hatched fairly regularly but not enough to get the fish looking up. We had a great day but if we had caught everything we connected with it would have been spectacular. Nothing large today apart of a chub of a couple of pounds but plenty of half pounders that bodes well for the future.

A very enjoyable day on a smashing beat despite the rain.

Evening ticket. Quite quiet on the surface. A trout and a grayling from the bottom of the beat on a little comparadun, a better trout and a 2.5lb chub from Lady Alexander's pool on a small streamer at dusk.

A few fish showing in the fast water,a better catch rate and still beautiful.

5 x trout 7 - 17 inches, 2 x grayling 7-8 inches, DHE and spiders.

During the afternoon a canoeist kept fooling around on the boundary between Nyth and Tyrcelyn and Abernant. Claimed to be a right bank land owner, but wouldn't give his name.

A super beat - our first time here - thank you to the WUF team for the advice! Definitely one to come back to - easy access, nicely maintained, nice setting and some great fishing.

Warm, humid day with a mix of sunshine and the odd spattery shower. Low water. The odd fish showing on the surface to give encouragement - a few slashing rises and a couple of fish rising persistently - with periodic hatches including the occasional may fly.

All the main pools produced fish - with 2 from the Stone Catch among the boulders on dry flies (rusty klink and grey wulff - with another fish lost and a couple missed), 4 from Lady Alexanders Catch and 2 from the Abernant Stream. Plenty of other chances missed as well. Downstream weighted nymphs in small sizes were the most productive approach today as the fish generally sought cover in the deeper faster sections.

Lovely piece of water. Very low but this does help move around the river easier. 6 fish in total, big shoal of barbel watched for a while up at the very top.of the beat. Double figure fish.
A beat to return to.

Varied weather conditions - cold and overcast in the morning and clearing becoming warm as the day progressed - with low water levels, suggested we might have been in for a challenging day. We both used nymphing rigs and found the fish in the faster water. All hooked on the point fly which in both cases was a hare's ear pattern. The 3 'other' were salmon parr.
