Nice day with a couple of good grayling. Most grayling came to the dry fly in fast runs.

A difficult but enjoyable days fishing. Sharp downstream breeze a low river & Bright conditions made it challenging. The grayling caught were good fish up to 11/2lb M J lost a very good fish also after a prolonged fight. Trout were quite small.Very few fish moving. Nevertheless we enjoyed ourselves. It really is a very nice beat & a stunning location. Would like to come back when conditions more favourable. Small nymph & small dry BWO did the damage.

Fished top end of beat in morning. Had an eel. Walked back to hut end only to find pump running so back to middle of beat for two four pounds plus chub.

We got 5 trout sized 10 to 11" on dry flies, Adams and EHC, and 2 impressive Grayling sized 14 to 15" on wet flies. Dozens of fish hooked on flies but we could not land most of them. All fish landed were safely returned to the river. Water was very clear and the river was so beautiful. We had not realized until we got there that this beat is split in two halves with a protected spawning area in-between where fishing is not allowed. The lower end of the spawning area was unclear and we could not find any sign of it. There is no written explanation about the spawning zone on the beat summary we got from WUF. So I suggest WUF to add the explanation to the beat summary. Apart from that, the river is so beautiful and stunning. Many thanks to WUF.

Good day fish rising, very pleasant all round.

River low and clear with bright sunshine didn't bode well. Chub taken on meat and the barbel on the pin with a small pellet. All fish scale perfect and fighting fit (and of a good size too). First field fine, the rest of the beat would need some serious tools to cut a swim - wild fishing indeed. Be interesting to try again with a few feet on the level.
