No fish caught. Tough day, didn’t see any fish or any activity

Nothing...didn't even look like there was fish within a mile of the place. My first time on this beat - and much of it is shallow without much cover....so not a stretch that is going to hold fish in a clear, low cold winter river. Shame really, I'd asked W+U if I could walk the beat the weekend before to check it out....they refused (which struck me as not especially helpful!)...so I took a gamble...and lost. So there's £30 and a day of my life i'm not getting back.

Very enjoyable day on a lovely beat. Fishing hard due to clear river. One out of season trout and 5 grayling taken later on maggots and 2 grayling taken on nymphs.

Cold but the river is just about right with no colour but not crystal clear the 2 grayling 10" both lively fish in good condition , both caught on a gold bead hares ear 14 at the end of a run of riffle just before it shallows again ,so a good start to the year, tight lines , its called fishing not catching

Pretty normal levels, clear, no frost. Didn’t see a fish, not even a minnow, and not a twitch.

3degrees all day...and a clear and dropping river. Constant bites all day...but really fussy and sharp little taps. Scaled right down to a tiny cube of meat and a light quiver tip rod to finally start connecting...all chub 3lb plus and a great day..
