Feedback & Reports

Great to be back. River not too high and running fairly clear. Weather over cast and even sunshine at end of day and found the water very warm. Lots of Dark Olives coming off and set up with GRHE on point & Jonathan Barnes emerager pattern on the dropper size 16. High sticking all the head of the steam and paid off with 4 Grayling & 2 Trout which I managed to land. Changed to Czech nymphing set up and fished further down and again hit into 3 more fish. Very happy to show off my small Trout.

3 Trout, 6 Grayling

Could not fish today.

River low and clear, bright sunshine not conducive for the intended Barbel, however 8 Chub to 5lb, made the trip worthwhile, was obliterated on the take by one Barbel. Stunning venue I will be back when there's more water on.

8 Chub

Others were 2 eels

Couple of hours fishing in the evening. River was falling after rain. Picked up a trout and grayling on nymphs before finding some grayling on top and had a couple on dries (pearly butt emerger)

I fished with spinner and float to no avail
A silver bar the holy grail
Alas it was not meant to be
So off I went - home for tea
Recharged it returned to try once more
A bright shiny spinner they can’t ignore
A take , a bite, a fish on my line
It’s on, its off, take that as a sign
A blank recorded , no trout for dinner
At least that sunset was a winner
