Water clear but banks overgrown and reeds in the water making some places impossible to fish. When wading a tremendous amount of silt disturbed. No rises seen at all. DG caught all but the minnow.

Arrived at midday with only a short time to fish. River was very clear and there was a good flow. Water marks on the high banks still showing how high the river must have been during the recent rain.

Managed to tempt 4 Grayling but it was difficult fishing. Quite a bit of fly life but didn’t see a rise all afternoon (except at my fly). Usual wildlife spotted and still a great afternoon out in the sunshine despite the difficult conditions. Thanks

Very hot day but overcast evening, no rises what so ever. one small grayling on the nymph

Was due to try the main river but put off by spending all day out in the heat so head this local-ish beat for an afternoon.

River was very quiet, only seeing one fish rise consistently. One trout and one grayling caught in the faster water while the other three trout all caught in slower stuff above the weir. Hadn’t gone that far up before - turns into a wild stream with access and casting becoming a challenge.

The best trout of the day, a 15”-er, was caught of an absolutely pathetic cast into some very slow water. Hadn’t seen the fish move but he walloped the fly almost as soon as it hit the water. All fish released safely.

Thank you to the WUF and the landowners.

lovely looking section of river if you could get to it, access in very difficult due to overgrowth on the bank, too nearly an hour to get to the water, also nearly impossible to cast for all the nettles and trees. shame. be good in the winter

A hot evening - with pollen levels exacerbated by the newly cut hay not particularly comfortable. The bullocks were in the leat again causing turbidity downstream of where that enters the river but also the river was turbid with algae until the sun went in.

6 fish to hand - 5 wbt best 12" - and one grayling. With the barn owl for company a nice evenings diversion....

Quiet during the afternoon, livened up a bit in the evening. Weather fine, river rather dirty, fine crop of nettles. I (MJB Sutton Coldfield) had one 12" trout on a size 12 mayfly, Paul Crisford (PC Kenilworth) had a smaller one on a gold head buzzer. A very enjoyable day.
I'll be hurt if you amend my grammar, otherwise feel free.
Thanks, best wishes,

Bright all day. Caught two 12’ brown trout, and missed many more, including two that I had hooked thade made a long distance release.

Very few fish rises during the morning, just two small grayling on a small black nymph. Late afternoon saw a late hatch of mayfly which produced 3 trout up to 14 oz. All fish taken above the footbridge.
