Well today I rigged up my 10' weight 4 rod for the first time with 3 Czech Nymphs and met up
with David and Dennis and his grandson, Dennis and his grandson were trotting on beats 7 & 8
so I walked up beat 9 to one of favourite spots the water had slowed down from last time and
running clear, but it was very cold just above freezing. I caught one Grayling which was a good fish, before returning to the hut for a coffee and a chat with David before he left.

Well today was the first day in 3 months that I've fished ! I looked at the forecast last night and it looked Ok, so I booked beat 9 for the afternoon, I parked up around 13.00 the sky was blue and sunny the temperature outside was 5˚c I set up my rod for Czech Nymphing, the water was coloured and running rather fast-I fished for about a hour and did'nt connect with any Grayling, but it was really good to be out though.
