Another top class day at Lyepole. After an overnight downpour, the river was slightly higher and some of the pools had begun to fill up. 10 Grayling to the net on various flies, Red Tag, PTN, Sedge. 3 Trout on similar. Amazing setting and a great days sport yet again.

Excellent day as ever at Lyepole. Fish were going for dries all day. Best of the bunch caught on the top part of the beat past the bridge in the deep pool, rising to a March Brown upright. Beautiful!

Really hard days fishing. Perfect conditions, two big hatches not a single fish seen or caught. Threw the kitchen sink at them but to not avail. Beautiful setting will go back later in the season and try again.

Tricky fishing as the river is quite narrow surrounded by lots of small trees and some high banks in places, that said, this is wild fishing so if you want manicured beats perhaps try the River Test.
Didn't see any fish rising even though I had a couple of May Fly resting on my jacket at one point. Tried a variety of dry flies with just one take that I missed due to me admiring the scenery at the time !!
