Most of the fish were a modest size but with a few around the 10-11” mark.
Targeted grayling in the faster water, tight line nymphing with heavy bugs which got fish in the morning. A change of tactics to a lighter team gave good fishing in the afternoon with most coming to emerger top dropper patterns rather than any flies fished deeper.
Fished barbless so a lot of escapee’s as well .All quickly to hand and released without netting.

Great clear evening, fished from around 5pm to 9:30pm. Numerous rises throughout the evening but lots of activity on the surface from around 8:30pm. Two caught on dry black Knat fly both at lower end of the beat. Two brownies caught were around 11” and 8” and both returned safely.

River level normal, clear. Over cast weather. Morning fished in the fast water just below trees (high bank, steep, difficult access) using link ledger and luncheon meat producing 2 chub, largest around 4lb and 1 barbel around 5lb.
Afternoon moved upstream to slower deeper swim using small feeder and pellet, 6 chub all around 4-5lb.
An enjoyable day but fairly limited number of accessible swims.

Persistent rain/drizzle all day. Found a swim where you could get a landing net down to waters edge, half way along. Tried anything/everything I had but couldn't buy a bite. Swims were well manicured and easy to access.
