23 x grayling 9-17 inches, 10 x out of season trout 6-10 inches, trotting. A quiet day except for interfering trout, but as the levels dropped off the grayling suddenly came on in the hour before dark. Several nice ones and a lot of good 14-15 inch fish. I carried on until I could no longer see the float.

Finally got my first grayling in the net (And three more followed)! Czech nymphing with condom flies and pink shrimp.

Beautiful location and an incredible river with straightforward access (although typically tight between the hedges for this canadian). Going back tomorrow! Thanks

Trotting with red maggots. Cloudy with occasional sunny spells, light wind, mild @15C. River in good shape and not too much colour. Fished from top of the beat down about 3/4 of the beat, a long stroll back to the car at the end of the day. Not much happening despite best efforts. Did get 3 grayling all 10 -12", each in different spots. Went very quiet after 2pm. There is a very well defined riverside path that has had an enormous amount of work done on it which has vastly improved access, which is greatly appreciated.

With a falling river, mild weather and an overcast day I hoped for a couple of barbel. However, despite my best endeavours, they refused to play and I had to make do with two half-decent chub.

Weather mild and overcast. River about 4ft above normal level. All fish caught in slacker water close to the bank on meat.

Well it wasn't for lack of trying. Gave it a good five hours with weighted pink shrimp, small nymphs, Klink and dink, vladi worm, etc. but to no avail. Hard going at times with lots of scrambling in and out of the river. Also new to this Canadian is fishing to a gallery of curious sheep and suspicious cattle!
