Always seems to be a hot sunny day when I come here, and today was no exception. River was nice and full, so very different to previous visit.
Intermittent downstream wind.
All caught on nymphs. First 2 fish were lovely, holding in shallow water.

River up at 1 metre on the Erwood gauge so we headed up the catchment. Was pushing through here at a fair old rate when we arrived bit it dropped a couple of inches through the day…. Dam water perhaps?

A few fish rising in mist of the usual spots and catches were shared around every pool. None of the clonking trout this time but most of the grayling and a couple of the trout were around the 15” mark …. Nice fish, but the best was a 17 inch grayling.

Starting to feel like autumn… come the evening the temperature plummeted, there was a mist coming off the river and breath was fogged. Car sensor said 10 degrees!

Another wonderful day in paradise….

Junior ticket bought for my seven year old daughter to have a go during the holidays. A few bites missed on popped up legered worm, but nothing landed. We only managed an hour or so before she wanted to leave, as they do when they're that age. A lovely place to spend some time. I'd have thought that any half competent angler should manage to land a few to take home with a full days fishing.
