8 x grayling 10-16 inches, 2 x trout 9-10 inches, on two heavy nymphs fished with an 8 foot rod. A grey, close morning, very warm and without a breath of wind. My general experience with these North Herefordshire streams is that, once the may fly is over and done with, I do better with the nymph rather than the dry fly. Nothing much was rising this morning, so that is what I tried. Very low water and my time was limited, so I'm afraid I cherry-picked the beat, just plumbing the deep holes where there was enough flow to move the flies. One good grayling, a decent number in the 10-12 inch range and saw lots of grayling parr, which is always encouraging.

Water quite coloured but fish were active. Did not managed to catch but missed several fish.

Fishing not easy. 1 barbel to pellet last knockings.

Day overcast but dry. Water very low near the bottom part of the lake & river inlet there completely dry. Fish rising to unseen surface flies near floating weed beds during mid-afternoon. Brown sedges present. No response to traditional wet flies e.g. Zulu, Black & Peacock Spider.

Chub up to 5lb 3oz, barbel 6lb 5oz. 3 lost fish. All fish in faster flows but lots of streamer weed coming down river dragging even 5oz feeders out of place so bite indication very difficult. Access to fishery very good but not to swims. Lots of chub caught on trotting maggots.

Beautiful day on the water. Fished team of nymphs, catching fish in the fast running water, the best of them from the runs below the Rectory, in amongst the ranunculus. Most we're small, but best trout went 3/4lb, and the chub and grayling were 1/2lb. Two very big WBT were seen stalking and crashing the fry in the margins. A few salmon showed during the day, Couple of Parr also hooked, all fish returned.

River v low but v good day weatherwise. V little fly life, with few fish rising. All trout were small with biggest only half pound. Grayling were 8-9" fish taken on small dries. An enjoyable - if not the most productive day, in fabulous surroundings.
