What a day I had fishing the top 4 pools all day, netting so many fish I just didn't need to move. 19 grayling and 8 trout to the net. Mostly being taken from top pool between 730am and 11am on a double nymph set up, pink+white and orange+green being my most successful colours couldn't get them back in the water quick enough before I was setting my hook again. At around 11am the surface turned in to a bubbling cauldron and they stopped feeding from the bottom. Landed a double brownie around 930 and a 2lbish grayling was the icing on the cake and I finished my day around 3pm and went a celebrated with a fantastic steak dinner in Llangollen. Was meant o be traveling to Scotland first thing the next morning but I booked up for another go in the morning. Was back on the water for 730 am and nymphd untill 11am. Another 5 fish to the net 3 grayling 2 trout. One of the trout being around the 1.5lb mark. Gave me a good 5/10 minute battle and one of my most memorable hook ups. I will be returning again once I manage to convince the Mrs ????

River at a good level and water nice and clear, although wind pretty chilly for much of the day. Very few signs of a hatch although I did try mainly wets, just to mix things up after a winter of nymphing.
One nice grayling, caught in one of the deeper pools, certainly cheered me up. Probably more luck than judgement as I was lifting the nymphs to start moving to a new spot and, as ever, that movement upwards triggered a take.
Still no sign of a trout to start my season off but there is always next time.................
