Zero caught, very low and very, very clear. Fished hard on various methods. No fish seen

Fished with another member rod today .A nice height at 10” and clear. The river appeared completely dead with not one offer for either of us trying various nymph and sink combinations. A worrying trend with recent reports from flyfishers on other beats having similarly lean returns. Hopefully fishing will pick up when we have an increase in temperatures but it didn’t seem particularly cold today.

10” on the gauge. 9 degrees + overcast. Good clarity. Nice flow.
Goldheads, spiders and other bugs couldn’t tempt a single take in over 3 hours.

Tough day, cold overnight with a frost so not ideal conditions. Fished the deeper sections managed 2 chub between us.

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

Crisp and chilly morning. Overcast. River had a good flow to it, but it did seem a little low, I guess we haven’t had rain for about two weeks. Fished with nymph (Pink Shrimp) on a Klinkhammer indicator. I was fishing the nymph at about 4 feet to start with, then in one of the deeper slower parts fo the river I decided to go down to about 6-7 feet. One grayling of about 10-12" resulted.

A slow day, but beautiful none the less. Unfortunately my waders didn’t miraculously patch themselves up over winter… freezing wet feet for most of the five hours, but great fun and it was lovely to be out on the river.

Quite a pace to the water today with c.18" clarity, Showing .51 on the Byton level. Freezing, foggy start however the sun burnt through by 11am into a glorious, sunny day. All fish caught trotting maggot, primarily in the upper section. Only a couple of small ones, mostly in the 10 to 16 inch range.

1 Trout, 15 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

One OOS Trout. Beat looking great
