A days trotting produced 14 grayling, 3 over the 1lb mark but there appears to be a large head of smaller grayling in my catch this year, good for the coming years. With no rain forecast...where to go next week?

14 Grayling

Fished the lower half and though the water was at normal level there was very little moving. Fishing with weighted upstream nymphs I only managed to catch two decent sized grayling but as always, a very enjoyable day on one of my favourite stretches.

2 Grayling

Trotted maggots but completely blanked. This is a nice stretch but for much of it is inaccessible due to overgrown vegetation.

River at just under two feet on the Llanstephan gauge, weather dull, about 12 deg. Five grayling on weighted nymphs.

5 Grayling

Upstream nymph/duo, river clear and reasonable height. x1 grayling, 1lb approx.

1 Grayling

Grayling caught on pink shrimp and trout on czech nymph. Both approximately 1lb. Czech nymph method used. River a good height and crystal clear!

I covered quite a few swims looking for an odd fish here and there and as the chub weren't feeding (due to the very brown water?), was content with three bites and three barbel to 7lb. A sparrow hawk took a redwing from the sky at high speed just yards from me, there's always so much to see when the fishing is quiet.

8 x grayling 6-17 inches, 1 x chub around 3.5 pounds, 3 x out of season trout 6-14 inches, long trotting. Another gloomy grey day, water cold and clear, and running at 2ft 3 inches. Grayling located at one place only - otherwise they seemed to have disappeared somewhere into flooded pools. There were two nice fish at 16 and 17 inches; most of the others were shotts of 10-12 inches.

Really hard going, a bit too much water but perfect visibility for czech nymphing. Fish not interested at all. fished hard on the bottom under the rod tip and lost a lot of flies but couldn't seem to find any hard feeding fish. Two fish to 12 inches and one of 14, no small fish at all. Freezing until about 1pm, then cold rain. Fish all caught within half an hour of each other from middle of beat. A gritty day on the Arrow.
