An otter and a kingfisher made an appearance but no grayling unfortunately. Four out of season wild brown trout 11” to 14” safely released.

4 Trout

2 x grayling to 15 inches, 2 x out of season trout

Grayling up to 12 inches and two OOS trout up to 8 inches. All caught on small grey dry flies from one pool. Really nice autumn day out which will probably be the last days fishing this year. Thanks.

Lovely autumn day on a beautiful river. All fish caught on the large, slow-moving pool at the very bottom of the beat.

3 Grayling, 1 Chub

River in good condition, physically challenging (long stretch, tough wade in spots). Fish very fit

Returning to the beat after some 20 years and still as beautiful on a sunny October day with river clear and quite full. Fished dries only and had half a dozen really top quality grayling - best a super 2.5lb. Also bonus out of season trout (2 of which a pound each).

The beat was looking peak in its spendid Autumn colours. Fish caught on french leader, duo and dry fly. Best grayling were 2lb ish taken on sedge emerger pattern. Fish rising in slower waist deep pools. Looked like they were feeding on emerging caddis pupae. Had two encounters with the otters, one of which was a young animal that popped it's head out the water only 2m away to see what I was doing in its pool. Hooked/missed as many fish again as caught - not sure if it was me or the fish having an off day. Either way a magical day on an amazing stretch of river.

Water dramatically low ,can't say any opinion, the strech is astonishing, i will try again when it is on right water levels.
