No barbel due to temperature change I think. but the chub came along in the last hour of light nice beat will be back in the summer months.

7 Chub

Looks scenic but at least 90% of beat is ankle deep and crystal clear, with bright sunlight and no fish seen.

I thought the oos salmon was a record grayling!

1 Salmon, 3 Grayling

Very cold down steam wind hindered day, 6 good sized grayling caught

6 Grayling

Cold wind, river low. Never had a bite. lost plenty of end tackle. The highlight of the day was spotting a Nuthatch. Banks very slippery.

Slow fishing only a few chub caught

Just one small grayling today. Spent a lot of time just walking around enjoying being in the prescence of this lovely beat.

1 Grayling

My first time on this beat and had great fun. I decided to attack it with my tenkara rod and a gold headed nymph and was not disappointed. Hooked into a beautiful 8" out of season brownie within the first few casts at the bottom of the beat. I then had two grayling of a similar size from a pool round the corner. It then went quiet for the next hour or so and i was beginning to wonder if I had already seen my last fish of the day. I then partially fell in and got water in my waders which was not great. I soon forgot about this misfortune when I landed a 12" brownie from the next pool up. A 14" fish then slammed into the nymph on the next cast into the same small pool and put up an awesome scrap on the tenkara rod.
Some grayling were rising in the next pool up so I switching to a small pink F-fly and managed to tempt one small lady which was nice. Sadly this spooked the rest of the shoal so the dry was swapped for the nymph. I lost a hefty grayling and landed another three trout between 8-10" before darkness set in. Sadly I only managed to cover about 3/4 of the beat despite fishing for nearly 5 hours. I guess I spent too much time covering each pool. Went home cold but satisfied and will definitely fish this beat again.
