Water back down to a nice height now ( 0.65 )and very clear. Fished indicator and nymphs in the gutter and the pools along the lower stretch. This is my preferred method here, but I notice a lot of people do well on dries but I rarely see any rises at all here even when there are sedges and olives about ! grayling to 16" and trout to 15" but mostly 10"

4 Trout, 12 Grayling

Didn't fish due to dog injury

2 eels

3 Barbel, 2 Other

Beautiful day, river high and fast. No fish seen or caught.

3 trout, 8, 10 and huge 15 and a half inches. 9 grayling, 5 between 8 and 12 inches, 4 at 13-14 inches. Tough going today, the river was at .62 on the Cilmery gauge and pushing through strongly.
Plenty of rising fish but all the surface feeders were extremely selective and were constantly rejecting both size 16 and 18 dries of all sorts. All of the smaller fish took dry flies in the fast water at the very tails of the pools. The big trout and the bigger grayling took # 16 tungsten nymphs fished duo on the bottom.

3 Trout, 9 Grayling

12 lb for Joe Gooch to a Red Francis on a sink tip.

1 Salmon

DC & GC enjoyed a nice but windy day on this nice beat, The water was clear and still dropping but the downstream wind put paid to any fly life, so no fish rising. All fish taken on nymphs, had hoped for more grayling but the oos wbt meant at least we caught throughout the day.
Many thanks to the Colonel and W&U for access to this new beat.
