6 x grayling 10-14 inches, 2 x trout 10-11 inches, Tungsten Hare's Ear and Pink Shrimp. The Arrow is also getting rather low. No insect life about except water measurers and no rising fish, so weighted nymphs through the deep dubs were the order of the day. And an interesting temperature swing: 6 degrees and fog on the drive from home rising to 21 degrees after lunch. Ate my sandwiches when I reached the top and pretty well fell asleep under the autumn sun propped up against a fence post in the grassy parking lot. Who wouldn't enjoy a morning on Court of Noke?

Slight colour to the river following recent rain. Two takes and two fish to nymph duo.

Couple of hours this morning - nice to see some extra flow but river well coloured and quite a lot of debris.
Three grayling 2 X 6" and 1 X 8" on gold ribbed hares ear.

Fished from 2pm to 6pm. 2 brown trout taken on wet fly, grayling on dry, just up from the downstream weir. Other takes in a couple of deeper pools around the middle of the beat, but they were too quick for me!

Lovely afternoon on a lovely stretch of river. Wind caused us problems. The lower stretch of the beat hard to access due to it being slow and deep and the banks over grown. Also a wedding party going on in the field right next to the wier made for a little disturbance to the tranquillity of the setting.

Fished 6am to 10 am - Tenkara again - but should have taken fly rod. Ended up fishing small nymph under a coch y bhonddu. Lost a good grayling, then had a 6" trout. Next pool had a good trout leap out the water trying to grab fly as I was lifting off water. A few casts later had 11" trout on the nymph and then in the same pool a lovely 12" grayling on the fly.
Saw at least 5 mink - 2 adults and 3 kits. Saw adults several times - just hope it was same ones. Do WUF trap these blighters?

So having not caught anything on the Tenkara day fishing at Titley, ventured downstream and had a couple of hours in the evening on Court of Noke fishing the faster stretches at the top of the beat. Conditions far from ideal with a blustery wind and squally showers. Fished that well known international combination of Tenkara rod and size 12 coch y bondhhu and had 4 wbt trout - 10", 8", 6" and 5". First fish was a real beauty and all fish are now very plump. Despite conditions was a lot of fly life including a few mayflies.

Tenkara Day.
Most enjoyable and informative. Caught the only fish showing on the surface all afternoon on dry. Good size Graying of about 1 1/4 lb on orange bead GRHE.

First time fishing this beat, had a cheeky pair of hours to spare in the evening as grandparents had the kids and wife out on a hen do! What a lovely way to spend an evening, was going to go to Arrow Mill but it was already booked so I came here instead. Great beat just like all the others I've fished so far. One trout and one grayling both returned and lost a cracking brownie in the rapids! Would have been nice to catch on dries but surprisingly little in the way of rising fish. Both fish taken on ptn pattern. Happy chappy off to bed to dream of the next wuf beat!
