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

Another beautiful still Autumn day but river low and clear. Top end swims produced only a couple of Barbel early on and then nothing for the rest of the day. One of our party walked down to the bottom and had 3 barbel and 4 chub in the pm.

Additional rod to the report of same date.

River still relatively low and clear. Quite a few grayling rising. Caught 4 to a dry fly and lost many more!
Spent a great day fishing with an old school friend. This is a lovely beat and one we shall definitely return to at a future date.

Firstly my sincere apology to mr V.C from Holmfirth, I found his rod and reel.....well my car did, it ran over the reel and squashed it ! , how it missed the rod I will never know . I hid it behind my car just in case someone came back for it , and on my return it had gone ( his friend collected it ) again very sorry!. as to the fishing , well I caught loads of small grayling ( only 19 over 8") and 5 oos trout up to 12". the biggest grayling was 12". the water was very clear and nearly spot produced.( could`nt fish near the cottage) all fish caught euro nymphing, didnt see a single fish rise!
