Excellent day, had the whole beat to myself except for a lot of pheasants. A dull overcast sky helped and a small nymph with a bright pink bead head accounted for the majority of the fish, on a French leader set up. Most were small with 6 around the 1lb-1 3/4lb mark. Thank you.

Water low and crystal clear. fished the bottom section of the beat and caught 6 grayling ( 2 at 15" ) in the first hour. i then fished the gutter and pools along the entire length and caught nothing !. it was`nt until i got to the top pool at about 3pm when i caught 2 more grayling and 2 oos trout. all fish came to suspended nymphs.

Covered the lower end of the stretch with both lures and wobbled deadbaits but only 1 dropped take for my efforts. Watched (and videoed) a large otter having its breakfast on beat 4 - a great sight but perhaps not for the fish! Plenty of salmon splashing about still.

A lovely autumn day with the water very clear and no wind. Fish spooky and selective with the old , more natural coloured, Killer Bug catching most and one on the Red Tag. The best was a beautiful deep fish of 1 3/4 lbs.

30 x grayling 7-17 inches, 2 x out of season trout 10 and 12 inches, trotting and Tenkara. Another very still day with the main river now down to 1ft 2 inches , running clear. Grayling of all sizes.

Calm and relatively mild day, good flow but very clear river. Nymphing all afternoon, landed 3 grayling on a sparkle pink shrimp and 3 on a sparsely tied hares ear with orange bead, on the dropper. All 10/11" except for one magnificent fish on the hares ear - 18" as measured, from a deep pool. Thought I had snagged the bottom at first, then it moved, although I did not see it for a while! My biggest grayling, swam off strongly afterwards.
Went home very happy!

I love this section of river and the view at the bottom of the stretch is stunning. Unfortunately, the fish were not playing ball on this occasion and despite fishing a few different swims the day ended up as a blank. Fantastic place though and will be back. Thanks W&UF.

The river clear and right height, but virtually no rises. Two grayling caught on dry Adams; other fish caught on nympth

Apart from one grayling caught on dry, others caught on nymphs fished with Tenkara rod
