Not easy fishing...in the morning rising fish were preoccupied with tiny flies and extremely cautious rejecting most of what I presented, finally around midday after repeated casts to the same spot I raised a decent Grayling to a size 18 Grey Duster, around 14".....two more followed around the 12" mark to Griffiths Gnat and Killer Bug. All fighting fit! The trout was around 10" on a Greenwells. River needs some rain.

Most of the day was very quiet, started in the deep water below the wood, then had a few hours in the wood fishing the faster water, all to no avail. Finally settled in the 1st swim below the wood early afternoon and caught all the fish from there after 5pm. Best barbel was 8lb 4ozs. Very pleasant day.

No fish caught.

I fished bottom peg on roadside and caught 3 dace on float, minnows were a nuisance on all baits. Had one bite each on feeder fished pellet and corn, and no takes at all on luncheon meat. River low but peg looked promising.
MB fishing on comfy peg halfway along roadside fared better and caught chub and grayling on float, but nothing at all despite trying pellets and corn Agree we will both return to give it another try.

Dave Massey, P Wesson fished with and as guest of Shaun Watkins. Weather overcast most of day. Shaun caught 13 Grayling and 4 trout, mostly french nymph method. Quite a few Grayling caught on dries pale watery dun klinks and light olives being successful. 4 large grayling caught from bend pool at tail, from opposite bank by Shaun on nymphs 1 in excess of 2 1/2lb Pete and Dave had 10 Grayling and 1 salmon Parr using mainly dries. River quite low and clear. Thanks to Shaun for an enjoyable day

River low and clear. Grayling taken on dries, which made a nice change. Beautiful beat with lots of varied water. Wading was easy at this very low level.

4 Grayling

The river was clear and the trees were staring turn into there autumn colours, so a good time to be on the water.
Had one oos trout on a nymph in the morning. There was little surface activity but when I changed to a 16 CDC & Elk in the afternoon the grayling came up,they were holding on the edge of the fast water and very willing to rise. Catching fish on a dry in Oct always seems like a bonus, so 8 grayling between 12" & 14 made for a very pleasant afternoon.
Many Thanks LB
