Sorry for the late return.

Cool one degree start to a lovely September day. Downstream wind in the middle of the day a bit of a pain but did not spoil a great day on a quality beat.
Only two trout but more than compensated for by the grayling. Most coming to spiders during the morning and afternoon. Two on dries late morning before the wind pitched in, only one fish to the French leader.
Was about leave just after 5pm when I bumped into the owners. Was given some totally selfless help from Shaun that resulted in another 7 grayling all to dries as the day faded.

Ledgered luncheon meat.
Barbel 6lbs.2ozs. Chub to 3lb. 12ozs.
Lots of canoes from 11.00 to 3.00, then much quieter. All very considerate.

A chilly northerly wind kept the fish down so fished a pair of wet flies. All caught on the point fly a Bibio hopper fished wet.

3 fish caught on bottom with worm, 1 with spinner.. All stock fish, not very big but at least I didn't blank, nice day as well so can't grumble

I have fished a few times here but this was by far the lowest water experienced....but a short morning session produced some good fishing on the float and the very welcome return of a large shoal of Dace....plenty of 6-12 oz Chub too and 4 bigger ones made for steady action until they spooked...There seem to be increasing numbers of Goosanders on the river which could be contributing to the Dace demise so it was a real pleasure to catch quite a few of a decent size for a change...
