Most of the stretch is shallow and full of streamer weed, unsuitable for lure fishing for pike at this time of the year.

Enjoyed the day, started fishing around 11am. Weather was overcast. Never caught a thing, but about 3.30 in the afternoon rod wrenched round, and I was into a large barbel. Unfortunately for me the hook pulled. Bait was Halibut pellet 14mm.

I would like to thank Shaun and pals for their French leader coaching, really helpful. Fishing was a little slow, in spite of what looked like perfect conditions, but I did manage 5 grayling biggest 2lb, all on tungsten bead heads.

An enjoyable day with 4 barbel caught. No wind, cloudy all day so ideal conditions but the river was very low and needed some more water in it. Fair bit of weed coming down the river.

4 Barbel

Fishing hard. River was low and clear, needs a good rise.

I took a good friend along with me this time, and I stupidly told him there were plenty of fish in this river (there are).
The weather was 12-15 degrees, overcast and no wind.
The river however looked lower than it did in May and very clear. We managed a couple of grayling, one taken on the fly fly, and a couple of oos brownies.
Saw quite a few fish rising but could only get the one to come to the fly. Nice day out though, in very mild conditions.

19 Barbel and 4 Chub on pellets. Fish came steadily throughout the day.

This has got to be one of the greatest and biggest beats for grayling I have ever fished, within the first few casts I caught a small grayling and a larger one was landed a few casts afterwards. throughout the day I landed 2 small grayling 3 medium sized ones at around 20cm 2 large grayling at around 30cm with one being slightly larger than the other and one good brownie that was about 35cm. I fished a 2 fly Czech nymph rig the whole day with a pink Czech nymph as the point and a size 16 tungsten headed pheasant tail nymph as the dropper, all the grayling came to the dropped and the trout came to the point fly. All in all this has been one of the best days fishing I have ever had, I broke my Pb for grayling twice and also for trout.

Not much happening at Abernant today only a few rises in the time I was there and very little activity nymphing. All trout and grayling took weighted nymphs fished duo. Grayling to 14 inches and trout to 13 inches. there was no hatch at all and very limited fly on the water. The flow was not my cup of tea today and levels need to rise to get it moving. A lovely beat none the less and will give it another go with another 6 inches on the gauge
