Two Grayling from the dropoff at the tail of Lady Alexanders. Took the middle dropper of a heavy Euronymph trio. Ice in the margins of the river and an upstream breeze made the forecast 5 degrees feel much colder.

Should be advertised as single bank fishing, even with levels at summer low there’s no way of crossing the river to fish the left bank. Small section of river, not for the adventurer.

Fishing Passport Note : It is always worth mentioning a double bank fishery. Anglers will fish in the knowledge no-one will be fishing opposite.

Great to be back on one of my favourite beats. It was unusual to see the water so low and crystal clear, especially this time of year. A gusty wind made for challenging fishing with the French leader, but I managed to fish the majority of the beat. As the light faded, I’d caught just 2 small grayling shots and 2 oos trout (one was a lovely fish around the 2lb mark). This is an interesting beat, but take care amongst the bedrock, felt soles and a wading staff are advisable!

No catch

Couldn't find the Grayling and they didn't find me! V Chocolatey but nice to be out

Very cold day -6 when I parked up. Needless to say no activity, but a glorious day, will try again when it warms up a bit.

Very cold morning -3 ground was solid and the river was low and clear new I was in for a hard day decided to fish an in-line maggot feeder on a 4oz tip, baited up a few swims had a small Chub first cast didn't get a knock for the rest of the morning. Changed over to meat in the afternoon and sat it out in the swim that I had the Chub just as the light was going the tip sprang into life with a typical Chub bite after fighting to keep it out of the snags I had my first decent fish of the day 4lb 9oz Chub, well chuffed. Had a chat with bailiff in the day gave me a lot of advice on the beat which was appreciated.

It has been a cold day, around -4C all day, ice at the margins, wading a bit of a trial. Only 1 Grayling between us, caught on the float, not even a bite on the fly, but a lovely day on a very beautiful river.
