Went in search of the grayling today and not much happening at surface so opted to nymph . All fish came to hand between 11am-1pm with not a touch after as the sun shone brightly overhead and killed the sport . What few rises there were also ceased. Size wise all between 6-12 inches with nothing bigger showing. nice few hours

This is a very tranquil setting, worth the trip just for the peace and quiet and the wildlife, including a kingfisher and a heron. Despite a regular trickle of hatching insects there was very little sign of fish moving and nothing caught.

Fantastic day of sport on a beat that I have fished in the past with mixed results. Not today though, the fish were very obliging and all runs, rifts and deep pools produced fish throughout the beat. Caddis pupa and white headed ptn produced most of the fish using the klink and dink method and later into the afternoon the fish started to take the pt klink. Trout ranging from 10 to 12" with one fantastic fish of 18". Grayling from 6" to 14" with a good few around the 16" to 18".

Only criticism of this beat is the first 200 yrd from the wooded area on the left bank from the bridge is virtually impassable and could do with a path being carved out. Lots of brambles which don't do your waders any good and a few barbed wire fences with no styles on them.
