river in beautiful condition

River very low and clear. Could see the bottom just about everywhere, spooked one fish and that was the only sign of life I saw( except the tiny one I did catch) maybe I should have fished the top beat as reports of a few fish up there. Very disappointed as this is my favourite beat and it appears to be empty!

Low water very clear but a beautiful day with sporadic sunshine and cloud mix, mild Easterly wind
I only fished the Lower beat and still waiting to explore the upper beat such is the length of it.
I winkled out a couple of grayling on the nymph and a couple of decent trout on the dry dropper in the afternoon. Not much really going on , could do with a bit more water to spice it up.

Slow start to the session on the bottom limit, temperature was at 4c when we started and the river was falling from some some the days before. Better luck at the top of the beat with a few small grayling to weighted nymphs. Some of the hardest and most dangerous wading I've experienced, take a stick!

First time on this beat. Fished the upper section. Overcast windy and drizzle throughout the afternoon. The wading wasn't quite as difficult as I expected but I was still glad I had my wading staff and newly studded felt-soled boots. A few sporadic rises to the Griffith's Gnat resulted in OOS trout. Grayling came to a team of spiders. I missed a fair few chances due to lightning fast takes so potentially could have had a better return but great fun and a good challenge. I look forward to trying again in the spring.

A dreary morning - never quite raining, but damp enough to get you wet - and a low clear river. Started at the bottom of the beat with a weighted nymph. 2 Grayling and a Trout reasonably quickly, but nothing else until I picked up a second Trout on a Klinkhammer just before packing up. Was somewhat surprised to meet two other anglers, who had moved from the top beat, as I was eating my lunch; as there did not appear to be any other bookings when I made my booking on Wednesday. Nay bother though; I had plenty of water to go at - with my somewhat meagre catch being down to the river, which had a distinctly "off" feel about it today. Of course, the thing at the blunt end of the rod may also have been at fault

Beautiful beat. Fishing was tough. A few small fish and a whopper of an OOS brownie.
