3 of us fishing, the oops trout was a beauty, about 2.5lb . Released straight from landing net and swam away stongly. Grayling all about 12oz. Saw an otter which was the highlight of the day.

2 Trout, 3 Grayling

Grayling were 11” and oos trout was 13”. Other subtle takes were missed or on then off, the feeding window was around 1pm. An Otter working the pool above me plus a few large dark olives coming off put a smile on my face.

Water was too high and flowing too quickly to have confidence that the nymphs were presenting well.

Strange day. We caught no fish in the morning except for a large, out of season trout weighing in at about 5lb, caught on a small tungsten beaded nymph fished deep in the head of a pool. After lunch the fishing seemed to really turn on and we took a number of grayling, all to nymphs. The "hot spot" was between 2:30pm and 3:30pm when all the grayling were caught.

The Oos trout were more active than the Grayling today. Tricky wading with the surface glare from the winter light on this rocky beat.

River unfishable - too dangerous to wade, despite little obvious rain for some days. Did not even cast a line.

Difficult conditions with 2' on the Erwood guage. Managed to find one or wadeable spots: just above the hut and down on the ferry pool.

Water was too high to take full advantage of the whole beat.

The river was still a bit high for the fly, with a foot of water over the planks throughout the beat. Even so, I was surprised to not have a single offer in four hours fishing, using a variety of conventionally presented,and high sticked nymphs. A leaf or two every other cast didn’t help but a very quiet day today.
