caught 2 decent grayling nymphing

2 Grayling

A productive day for one rod with 17 barbel up to 7lb 5oz, and just one barbel to the second rod.

18 Barbel

5 on dry

3 Barbel, 4 Chub

Honddu still low and clear with just a few fish moving in shaded pools. These seemed willing to respond to a stiffly hackled cream coloured fly which was tied a while ago with no standard pattern in mind and which coincided today with what appeared to be a fall of a few small similarly coloured moths . One ten inch fish but several rises missed thanks to wonky vision. This stretch which is conveniently close to home has mainly shallow streamy runs with a few pools. Cautious careful wading essential in these conditions.

The river fished even better than the previous day. Best barbel was 9.02. Feeder fishing with pellets as bait was the method used.

27 Barbel, 3 Chub

Hyped up after the previous days catch an early start was made. A fish rose whilst tackling up and it succumbed first cast to a small Francis like yesterdays fish. 4 hours later after no offers or signs of fish it was obvious that the fish had moved on. Thats fishing!

11Lb hen fish (coloured), beat 3 again (7.15pm just as the light was going), same old trusty yellow & black tube (must find out what its called!). Great fight, thought it was a bigger fish than it turned out to be. River in top condition.
