5 x grayling 9-15 inches, Tungsten Hare's Ear and Pink Shrimp. We normally expect small grayling from the Dore - after all it is a baby river - but a couple of good ones this morning.

Cold morning. Only fished a few hours at dawn. No bites.

My first time fishing Lyepole and I wasn't disappointed. A lovely venue, beautiful river and stunning surroundings. The hills protected me from the biting Northerly and it was pleasant all day. The river was very low and crystal clear so all the Grayling were shoaled up in the deeper pools above and below the bridge. I caught consistently through the day mainly on trotted bluebottle emergers but as I had taken my Nymphing rod I gave it a go after lunch and had a few smaller Grayling Czech Nymphing. I ended up with 23 Grayling from ounces to a pound plus averaging around the 12 ounce mark. The only company I had all day were the Dippers and Robins, just perfect.
