I took a days holiday on Wednesday this week to fish with a very old friend of mine Peter Thellusson who has a rod on Ashford Hall on the Derbyshire Wye, at started about 11.00 and
Peter showed me all the work which has been carried out to put the Wye back on course for over
100 years it's very impressive to see what has been done. Well after that i fished up on the right
hand bank until we stopped for lunch at The Bull in Ashford in the Water which was very enjoyable to have a good chat and catch up on old times. I caught 4 Grayling and 1 Brownie before lunch and after lunch 2 more Grayling the water was so clear i caught them all with a olive F Fly.

Today at 9.00 this morning, I met up again with John to carry out river monitoring again
on beat 6 which took us about 1 and half hours to complete. John had to go so I fished on
beat 6 and caught 1 nice Grayling and 1 small Brownie I only fished for about 45mins before
heading for home, as I wanted to go into Sheffield for some shopping.

Well I haven't fished this weekend because we were all at a family wedding yesterday which was
at the Marquis of Granby Hotel, in the Hope Valley it was a great occasion very enjoyable day and evening.
The main reason for this blog is to let you know about my Aerial Trotting reel which I purchased
on Ebay some weeks ago which needed renovating I scanned the Internet and found Steve Boncey who lives in Crowthorne, Berkshire. who is a retired engineer who renovates old reels to a very high standard so I dropped it off with him some weeks ago and last week it arrived by registered post and I could not believe the standard of it- it was like a new reel- fantastic job.
Steve can be contacted via his website vintagefishingtackle.net
So this afternoon I called into Peter Arfield's shop in Bakewell and he put on some backing and then 100 yards of 3lb line so I now have a reel ready for this winter on a frosty winter day trotting for Grayling.

I can't believe this year is going so quickly, work is just so busy at the moment which is great really,
so after tea tonight the girls were going to the pictures so I thought it would be a good idea to book
beats 2/3 for a fish the temperture was still quite high 24 ish so I set off about 20.00 hrs and was in the river by 20.20hrs. There were a few fish raising when I waded up the beat from Grindleford
Bridge and soon connected with 3 good Brownies on LDO dry again I then waded further up beat 2
towards to end there's a nice pool with plenty of fish raising by 21.00 and very quickly landed 3
more Brownies before calling it a day at 21.30 difficult to see the fly any later. I very satisfying
and enjoyable evening.
