Had a really long day today set off early for Westbury in Wiltshire and got back in good time
just before 18.00 hours and decided to go fishing for the first time this season in the evening, so i headed for beat 1 that doesn't need booking. When I arrived just before 18.30 there were a few
fish rising so I put on a LDO dry and cast to the rises nothing so I waded further up stream just
looking for a rises and casting when I connected with 2 nice wild brownies I only fished for about
an hour and really enjoyed it because this part of the river a quite protected from the wind I headed for home as a was very hungry.

Sorry folks its been a long time since my last blog, main reason is a broke my 8' 6" rod and i've been very busy at work, but today I arranged with my good friend Charles to come with me on beats 14/15. when we arrived at the river the wind was blowing hard so Charles started fishing above the stepping stones and i walked well down and started fishing up stream the wind wasn't
helping I had a LDO size 16 on my new Greys Streamflex rod which I'am getting used to now.
I caught 3 really cracking Grayling below the stepping stones before catching Charles up, he had caught 5 Brownies and we both fished infront of the hut and I had a small Grayling and a super
Big Brownie we had fished from 13.30 to 16.00 and the fish were not showing themselves so
we called it a day. Very enjoyable.
