Just a quick hour in the river, nothing rising so fished upstream nymphs. Netted 2 Grayling to a pheasant tail. Hooked and released a couple more.

2 Grayling

River was at 1'5", dry all day and quite sunny in the afternoon. Was hoping on that basis to see some fly activity but only the odd olive and two rises seen. All fish on either a grhe or P/T nymph. Pair of mink as bold as brass - lots of remains of their mini lobster lunches too.

3 Trout, 2 Grayling

A most enjoyable day fishing as a birthday celebration for my old fishing friend, Dave. River was high and tinged with colour but looked good and 'fishy'. No sign of the trout though despite trying every tactic we could. Just 3 small grayling in the end. Fabulous to be back out on the river!

River was in full flood no fishing that day

The day was grey, cold and windless. Temperature was a constant 2-3 degrees. River at 1'4". All fish caught trotting. 10 fish in the 12-14 inch bracket, 2 at 15/16. The rest were 4-10. OOS trout - 3 between 9-10 inches, 1 over a pound. Super day in a super setting - good for the soul!

4 Trout, 24 Grayling

5 Grayling caught in cold conditions with trotting tactics. Size up to 1.5 lbs .

5 Grayling

River at 0.62 and falling slowly. Visibility at about 2'. Rod rings icing up (forgot the glycerine), I don't think the air temp got above freezing. Hard going today, fished from 9.30 till 2 and didn't find any fish until 1pm
1 cracking o.o.s. trout of 16" from a long glide thats usually productive, but nothing else. Eventually found some grayling in a spot right under my feet. Largest was 10", smallest 3".

Enjoyable day, the valley was picture postcard with frost.
