12 Grayling

Water level relatively low. A lot of new plant growth proved a challenge to reach the river in places. Five Grayling brought to the net. Three caught upstream of the bridge and two below the bridge - Black Klinkhammer, Parachute Adams.
Beautiful location and a great day fishing shared with kingfishers, pheasants and yellow wagtails.

A dull and overcast day with not much activity on the water. Caught 1 grayling about 12 inches and a WBT of about 10 inches both on an Elk Hair Caddis.

I spent a very enjoyable 5 hours upstream of the bridge and was able to fish most of the river with various casting techniques.

Caught a few on nymphs and most on a small black fly.

Half a dozen reasonable size.

As always, a lovely day at Lyepole. One of my favourite places to fish. Weather was perfect/ Trout and Grayling were interested all day. I managed to get 2 lovely medium sized trout on the dry plus two grayling the same way. My friend also had a great day, with 3 Grayling and a Trout almost landed that shook the line off. Lost in the trees in this glorious place, cant wait to come back again next year.

A lovely afternoon; the river low, but fish rising. I caught one small grayling on a dry fly and lost another fish, unidentified. I had taken a friend along to teach him the elements of river fly fishing. He had a really good time and even rose a fish, though he had never cast a fly before. A really enjoyable beat, though in many places you need a short rod and a skilful cast.

Nil caught. A couple of splashy rises but fish were easily spooked due to river being so low.

Grayling from ~12 to 18cm, trout ~15cm. Hooked a trout 20+ cm in the top pool. Jumped out of the water twice and was gone.

Two buzzards overhead and a pheasant in the grass.
