4 Trout

A cold day and even colder water but some hatch activity. The water was very low and clear. There was a prolonged (maybe 1 hour) hatch of BWO attracting some rises. I managed to attract two very large brown trout with a CDC dry pattern but only netted one of these (a beautiful 18" specimen) - I thought the 'one that got away' was even bigger. A lovely 4 hours....

6 Grayling

Two grayling caught in the first five minutes - one being one and a half pounds. Both on a dry Klinkhammer - nothing else for the rest of the day.

Good to see Edward the owners son out fishing - I hope he catches his first grayling soon!

Spent the afternoon on this beat as I’ve never fished it before and I must say that it’s a hidden gem. The Irfon was still running a little high and the water was pushing through so swinging nymphs what’s the order of the day. Picked up 2 reasonable grayling and one OOS browning.
A nice afternoon and I’ll be back when the water is running at a good pace

My first time on this lovely beat; 3 hours of fishing around midday. Cold and overcast with a bit of colour in the water. No surface activity. All fish caught on self tied (barbless) tenkara style full bodied flies, fished upstream and across and downstream as an emergers. All takes were very aggressive. One of the trout was a lovely 16" and one of the grayling 14". I look forward to returning to the beat.

Cracking day out in beautiful countryside on a nice easy beat but no fish caught or seen. Fished top to bottom trundling heavy nymphs through several very inviting pools and runs. Very mild afternoon and stopped for lunch near bottom of beat watching the long slow deeper flats section but nothing rising. Tried a dry red tag back upstream anyway and revisited the deeper runs and pools with team of nymphs again but grayling elusive for me today.
