Difficult day trotting with the river fairly low. 1 grayling just under the 2lb mark

1 Grayling

Beautiful stretch of the river a few grayling seen one hooked and lost, a little slip in the river resulting in a soaking! But still all fun

Had two lovely grayling just shy of the 2lb mark. Lost another.

Beautiful beat and the water level and clarity was good but no grayling. I did manage to spot salmon and the top of the beat which is a good sign for the river.

Me and my brother covered all the pools on this stretch trotting maggots and managed 3 grayling a piece, all of which were decent fish. Probably should have brought my nymphing rod as well to get the best out of the stretch. Stunning river. Access to the second field from the bottom end was very difficult due to a collapsed river bank which has dragged the fence down into the river.

Cold after temperature drop and North East wind, water very clear running at about 0.5 m on nearest gauges. Lovely beat , never saw a sole. ! very nice out of season WBT 1 lb 8-10 ounces, 1 small Grayling .

1 Trout, 1 Grayling

Amazing day for which 5 Grayling does not tell the whole story. I run off between French nymphing, dry fly and float fished maggot was won by the float fishing. All 5 were in the 1 -1/2 to 2lb class, the best estimated to be just over 2lb and one fish was quite dark with signs of historic Comorant damage, the rest all brightly coloured and clearly capable of growing bigger. Looking forward to returning to this beat, focusing on heavy bugs and dry fly next time.
