Mainly cloudy but warm conditions gave to a great day's sport. Numerous small brownies, and a grayling of about 2 1/2 pounds. Water levels were low, and being clear made life a bit tricky, but the fish were certainly there and in particular the rocky pools of shallow water in the lower reaches of the beat.

A lovely setting, but a very warm day and no significant hatch resulted in a slow day. 7 fish between us, nothing of note. We did however see 3 large trout from the top of the bank.

Brilliant day's fishing, apart from the stunning scenery. Total of over 10 fish, with a brownie up to 3lbs and a number of grayling up to 2 1/2 lbs.

Blank, except for various grayling parr around 6 inches. A very cold, dour sort of day and I didn't manage to connect with any fish of size.

Two grayling around 9". Two similar trout, plus one at 17" ... the best of the year ... someone should have told them its the closed season! All on nymphs.

The water levels were a little high and was running clear. Fishing was best in the morning with D.C. and D.B. catching four grayling and two brownies each on the middle section, ranging from tiddlers to 12". D.B. also added two salmon parr to his total. Nymphs and dries were all happily accepted throughout the morning.
G.C. fished the deep pool and above. Had a couple of rises to nymphs in the morning, and a rise from a grayling in the afternoon to a grey duster.
Overall, the day was most enjoyable on a lovely stretch of water.

Caught four good grayling between 14 and 17 inches, also one nice 14 inch trout.

All but one were caught on an olive klinkhammer with one one a heavy nymph.

A delightful day on one of the prettiest beats available via WUF. Water was still a bit low and clear but good fish were taken, mainly Grayling but also a cracking Wild Brownie.

Very low water (Erwood Gauge at 0)bright sun, hot. Small fish rising under trees. Managed to attach to few using small dries, very nearly had one 8" to hand before it pinged off. Superb location, easy access, easy wading on small pebbles in the low water. Several large chub cruising by.
Stayed at Kilsby - excellent as usual.

Very cold and windy day.
Didn't see a fish all day, but it was still beautiful.
