2 Pike 6-8lb from the most pikey looking slacks on lure and mackerel. Warm December day full of wildlife including the biggest Mink I've ever seen, 3 cormorants and a flock of around a dozen grebes (glad I'm not a Salmon smolt!). On the upside I did see a Kelt jump in the tail of the Vanstone.

13 x grayling 10-15 inches, 2 x chub 10 inches, 6 x out of season trout. Various methods - trotting, Tenkara, heavy nymphs. River high and clear on an unusually warm day.

Part of the enjoyment for me is seeing rivers throughout the seasons. Sometimes the fish are easier than others. Today was at the harder end of the spectrum. The two of us fished methodically mainly with short-line nymph tactics. We had a few bites just after first light with one landed and one lost but then nothing until last light when we had four as it was getting dark.
Worth knowing that the parking area is pretty muddy so a bit of planning needed when tackling up.

River at a nice level - 2 grayling around around a pound each - trotting

Weather very good, mild and dry. Small barbel 2lb, All chub between 2 1/2 and 4 lb, the grayling a bonus. Thought the barbel would show in the conditions but not at all. Fished first 2 pegs in the right hand field, most the pegs were treacherous as very slippery, Many of the banks had collapsed as a result of the high waters over the last weeks.
Great beat and be back in the spring/ summer
