11 x grayling 6-14 inches, 1 x out of season trout 19 inches, Red Tag and Grayling Steel Blue dries. A warm and cloudy day after a mild night, water at a good height - you would think it a perfect grayling dry fly day. In fact there were very few rises and the only grayling shoal I found rising was composed of mostly shots. A slight sipping rise on the edge of a raft of dead leaves was repeated when a Red Tag was floated there and after a 50 yard dash downstream in panic turned out to be a beautiful hen brown trout. A most handsome fish but unfortunately it's October 4th, so it doesn't count! There you go.

Fantastic conditions, what can I say? The catch says it all! Various methods mainly feeders and pellet.

Warm, SW wind though too much sun. Plenty of interest in a range of techniques. Eleven trout landed to 35 cm though one that fell off after the first run felt bigger. Some trout still carrying Argulus. Lovely afternoon's fishing for October.

Sunny bright conditions didn't help us in the clear water it will take a lot of rain to regain normal levels have noted a lot of cormorants about feeding in the river clearly a concern.

Result ; three barbel on meat below top crib 2lb-5lb -9lb, two chub at smaller crib 5lb- 4lb on pellet


Booking Office Note: This fishery is a single bank fishery, as described in the beat notes. This does mean that the opposite bank might indeed have other anglers on it, which applies to all single bank fisheries.
