8 grayling between us, all around 1lb, most to dries. lovely beat. Will be bacK

2 Trout, 8 Grayling

Very wet and blustery weather most of the day. Glad I had remembered my wading jacket and invested in some new chest waders. On the upper section again. A beautiful trout took a size 18 ptn but no sign of the intended grayling today. I look forward to returning sometime in the future.

On the upper section of this lovely beat. So well maintained and accessible. As for the fishing I struggled to locate them today with just two rises to my soft hackle dry producing two grayling. Nothing on various nymphs or spiders. Great to be back again after so long.

Water was coloured first thing but cleared throughout the day. Started French nymphing, pink tags and Duracells but the trout were having all of it early, all were kept wet and released ranging from fingerlings to one just sub 2lbs I guess.

I changed out to dries early morning, no action whatsoever. Until just before close out on light at the end of the day, took two grayling on a red tag dry fly and blue dun. Both in faster water than I would expect between the white water and the foam lines below rapids. I couldn’t figure them all day so assuming they are all grouped up and holding.

Tough day on the water with a northerly wind and squally showers. Nice beat though, all fish on the Ptn

2 of us fished and caught on a mix of dries, duo and nymphs. Many more fished missed. Fab day on beautiful stretch of river.
Best grayling circa 2lb. Beat owner really friendly and helpful with tips.
Also kindly arranged last minute evening beat tickets for the Friday we arrived via WUF.
We will be back.

Thanks to owner and WUF for allowing access.

Nice and diverse beat. Altough quite a few large extremely slow deep pools that we skipped with dry fly.
We found a handfull of typical grayling currents. small sedge, bwo, pale watery tied in emerger style on CdC no18-20.
