1 Trout

Fished Sunday 11th October between about 10am and 4.30pm. Following rain on Friday the Ddol Farm gauge had risen to ~1.30m on Friday afternoon, but had dropped back to 0.70m today. The river was a little high, but clear and very fishable. It was a mild day, with only a light breeze. There was reasonable hatches of fly, especially in the faster water - small olives, some large olives and sedges. However, there was only the occasional fish rising. Mostly out of range.
We fished the top part of the beat.
We managed 14 grayling and 6 trout between us. Fairly steady throughout the day. All but one on small bead head nymphs fished under a dry dropper. The other was to the dry dropper. All the fish were a good size, between about 10" and 14".

6 Trout, 14 Grayling

3C on the car temperature gauge en route, but a pleasant enough day. River running low and clear, but still pushing through. Bottom incredibly slippery - so much so that, even with studded soles, I narrowly avoided meeting the fish on their own terms on a couple of occasions. A couple of Grayling on nymphs from the fast water at the top of the first meadow in the morning, nothing from the Gutter, but a run of Grayling from the top of the beat on a Klinkhammer during a brief rise in the afternoon

8 Grayling

Beautiful beat, plenty of fish about. Wading staff a must!. Indicated footpath to the upper part of beat needs correcting….their seems to be no path to the river or along it on the left bank. Only access by the parking area and footbridge at the top of this beat. Once we did start fishing however, the pocket water and runs were productive. Lovely calm clear day; most fish on nymphs and some took drys amidst a hatch early afternoon.
