You can read a more detailed account of Sundays outing on Phils blog …………….. http://flyandclassiccoarse.blogspot.com/ My summary goes a little like this. I visited this part of the river over our very cold winter period. I only had a few fish but the ones I did get seemed to be of a better stamp than lower down. I put this down in the end to the very cold weather, although I had concerns about the amount of predatory birds. I now still have the concerns. While the odd big Grayling can be found, fish of under a pound are sadly scarce. A complete absence of Dace in water that should hold them in high numbers and no small Chub either is a worry. We fished the first pool, I have had a couple of fish one of which pushed 2lb. Also I have lost a couple of good fish. I had told Phil this and I think he wanted to get a good Grayling. Although we had a few Trout we struggled a little. I had spotted a good ripply glide in winter, which had a barbed wire fence in the middle of it making it un fish-able. So I took Phil and it looked spot on……… after one trout, I think he was loosing faith in the water I had targeted, but he stuck with it and reaped the rewards with a 1lb12oz fish. I managed a few Trout and also got Chub taking Crust although I somehow managed not to hook one. I will give this area another try but I’m a little worried. A family of Goosander as we left only added to my concern.
