2 out of season grayling, very healthy and of just under 1lb (ish). Taking the dry fly. Also lost another 2 on the dry.

Great beat, although it is difficult underfoot while wading, it's manageable if you're without physical restrictions. You definitely need studs/felt and a Wading stick for stability and checking depth in front of you.

More challenging is the access to the water. If you're not able to climb down difficult banks, or willing to plough through overgrown trees and bushes this one might not be for you. There is no obvious path and quite a lot of river that doesn't have bankside access. Pools are accessible via the water, but as mentioned be prepared to go steady and slow with water getting past your waist quite quickly if you get a bit too confident!

One of those beats that could be fabulous if someone tackled the access to the water.

Hopefully that helps others. I'd go back as the pools are great and plenty of fish activity.. I'm sure they weren't all Greyling!

Disaster. Freezing cold, snowing. The river was rising, and colouring up. A couple of salmon showing. Access to the river is unmaintained and very slippery where no bankside vegetation exists.

Started fishing around 14.00. Small trout almost immediately. In last 5 minutes of my day I caught my best ever grayling.
One or two other pulls but very sunny - not a lot of activity even into the evening
