Saturday 26th September

Well folks- with the shorter evenings now the weekends are the only time to get down to the river. So today I booked beats 8, 9 and 10 and the weather forecast was very good for this time of the year. I was joined by a Friend from the village and we started at the bottom of beat 8 and
fished our way up the river in turns, I was just into my first fish a good sized brownie when I had the company of one water vole swimming directly across the river - they always swim in such a straight line. We had a very enjoyable afternoon, my guest finished up with 3 Rainbows
6 Brownies and my count was 1 Grayling and 5 Brownies, and as we were walking back to the car the Red Arrows flew over- really making it a special day. So we finished off with a couple of
bottles of Becks !!

Saturday 12th September

I had jobs to do this morning so this afternoon I thought lets go fishing !
and what an afternoon and first hour was a bit quiet with just one small
Grayling I must say it was a bit bright and sunny. Managed to move up
under the shade of the trees and things really started to happen. In the
next hour I had 5 Brownies and 4 Rainbows what a absolutely cracking
afternoon, I said September was going to be a good month.

Wednesday 9th September

Booked beats 6/7 later this afternoon and fished for just a hour from 18.15 to 19.15 the last half a hour the temperature dropped, but i still managed to land 2 nice Grayling & 1 very good
Brownie all taken on a Olive F Fly before heading to the pub for a pint.

Tuesday 8th September

Booked a couple of days holiday managed to get down to the river
at lunch time, and the Derwent was in superb condition just fished
for an hour, and had 2 good Grayling and 2 good Brownies all on a
all brown dry. Looking at the weather forecast September should
be a great fishing month.
