No fish today. Conditions seemed good however no bites. Very cold weather.

Just fished for an hour pm after a great lunch at the Corners Inn. Kingsland. At 81 years old I'm finding some beats very challenging for my limited mobility.

1 grayling about 1lb - should have been more! Lovely beat and friendly farmer.

A quick afternoon session, the water temperature was 5.4, so I wasn't optimistic about my chances of any Barbel. I fished a large piece of spam and netted a Chub of about 3lb in the first hour , I didn't get a knock for the second hour, scaling everything down to a 14mm pellet on a 14 hook hooked into the first Barbel as a was putting the rod on the rest and the second a few minutes later. MHC is a well kept beat a few of the swims have received a batteriing from this winters floods.

2 Barbel, 1 Chub

One v brief gentle pull mid afternoon. Probably snagged a rock. Otherwise no offers fishing from the hut down through ferry and bridge pools.
Companion had two off season trout upstream of the bridge.
Weighted nymph point flies took the fish.

2 beautiful grayling on size 14 hears ear. Very difficult fishing with lots of over hanging trees and little bank access but great little river. If going in these temperatures would highly recommend as many layers as possible as it’s very cold.
Overall great day out.

2 x grayling 10-14 inches, 1 x out of season trout 10 inches, Pink Shrimp. This was more of a visit to the Dog at Ewyas Harold with a bit of fishing thrown in - very cold.

First time on this beat, and it got the better of me! Just the one grayling shot on a Pink Shrimp, fished Euro style. I wandered upstream as far as the wear below the A470 bridge. Interesting water for sure, but very challenging wading amongst the bedrock and large, slippery boulders – be careful. I’ll be back, as I know those grayling are there!
