Fairly cold start to the day, but a lack of wind kept the leaves from blowing into the water. Tough going, although I managed to bag a small grayling on a red klinkhammer during a small spell of sunshine. I also saw a large salmon jump below the fall at Glaswyn, a real beast of a fish. Later in the day another small graying was caught and finally to top off the day a small out of season brownie was landed, both on a gold headed bibio nymph. All flies today were red and black. Great stretch of river to enjoy the colours of autumn.

River 0.4 at Peterchurch falling slowly, still holding some colour after last week's rain. First time on this beat, although I have fished the Dore a lot this year, up at Poston Mill. Access is generally very good, only having to get out 2 or 3 times to get round the deeper pools, and 1 obstacle at the top of the beat which completely blocks the river. Fished the duo for most of time, reverting to a single nymph for the deeper pools. Grayling at 8in caught on the single nymph, both trout 10in taken on the dry. Missed a good few takes on both, with a couple of fish bumped off.

I note that AS had fished Tuesday, but others had definitely been there too, as there were 4 different fresh sets of boot prints in the mud, all in places that would have been underwater last weekend.

River still well up, lovely beat

River very high at 2ft 6 inches on the Llanstephan gauge, so only possible to trot a few eddies from the bank with maggots under float. 6 x grayling 10-14 inches, mostly shots, 7 x out of season trout 7-14 inches. OOS trout kept muscling in, and salmon also showing interest, so had to move several times.

6 Grayling

River high but clearing, 6 chub caught mostly small, lovely beat with good access/parking look forward to returning when lower levels.
