A few bites off my worms. A couple of fish seen jumping late in the session

Weather - Hot, initially light cloud then sunny.
Water - Clear but shallow.
Population - a lot of swimmers (human thingies) upstream of the bridge and 2 snorkelling downstream beyond the exposed rocks.
Duration - 15:30 to 18:30
Location - 3 tried between 100 and 250 yards downstream of Green Bridge (South Bank)
Float fished worm trotting. Depth circa 2 to 4 feet depending on tactics.

One exceptional hit just at 14:30, just at the point of retrieving at the end of the trot. Definitely hooked (barbless size 12) but corkscrewed out of the water and dislodged the hook.

Guesstimating well over 12” long and perhaps nudging 2lb. Colour indicated Brown Trout. ????

Hope to try again tomorrow evening but a bit even later than previous afternoons.

Float fished worm trotting. Depth circa 3-4 feet. About 8 missed possible bites. One confirmed catch circa 8” long and roughly 8-10oz. My first ever Tees Trout and my first trout for 50+ years.

River very low. Bright sunshine.

A lovely session with some great water to go at. The trout were playing hard to get but some lovely oos grayling were caught, we couldn't seem to get away from them! We were on holiday in the cottages by the river and would love to revisit for the grayling come winter time. We caught fish to nymph, dry dropper and dry fly when a hatch of March browns took off around lunch time. A very fun morning's fishing! Tricky, slippery bottom to wade on though, definitely bring a wading staff and studs if you want to fish from the water!

River good and had a chance of a grayling but lost it.

Small grayling on size 16 red spider.

1 Grayling

Most fish caught on nymphs, but did get 2 trout on dry flies. Missed a lot of rises.

Had 3 days at Barnard Castle, fish rising at end of caravan park and opposite Egglestone Abbey, a lot of fish rising, but at my last vist finding what they were taking was difficult, tried everything in the box. one on a palmered Whickham, 3 on a Griffiths and the last on a Shipmans Buzzer. Beautiful scenery, slippery rocks, but had a lovely time.
