Monday morning and the river is in good shape for those of you pondering a visit , the above visitors are not welcome and it pains me to see such a sight , which is sadly becoming more frequent .

No change on yesterday , crisp morning with clear skies . Couple of pictures taken yesterday of Grayling caught in Strid Wood yesterday , persistent targeting eventually producing three fish to hand . The size 12 dark tan Kinkhammer special clearly visible .

Tuesday morning and as you can see from the pictures taken at 0800 hrs , river level remains normal .

Sorry no pictures today however level remains good and settled .

Thursday morning and conditions are still settled , much more overcast and looks to stay that way . Pictures show two Grayling I caught yesterday both just short of 12" , both caught on a size 18 olive paradun , however in order to locate the grayling I employed a size 12 Kinkhammer Special to force a reaction , once this tactic brought an interest then I switched down to a small pattern and covered the reaction area , after a few missed rises , dogged covering of the area resulted in these two fickle ladies .
