I booked beat 9 today whilist at work and managed to get to the beat by 19.00 hours tonight there is still a lot of water coming down but the evening was very warm and there were a few fish rising. So I put on size 16 LDO and caught 3 Brownies and 1 Grayling I then changed my fly to a Mayfly as there were quite a few flying around, I caught 1 Rainbow and one more Brownie. A very enjoyable one hours fishing. I think the rain is coming again tomorrow I'm just hoping it doesn't colour up the river tp much for the week-end.

Well this weekend has been No fishing as the River Derwent is in complete flood conditions the level is well up and very coloured if you waded you would be taken down stream very quickly I fished on last wednesday and looking at the river today you can't believe the difference in the level of the river.
the main reason is that Ladybower reservoir is full and any rain we have just flows down the Derwent.

I have been away on business for the last two days in Hornsey & Three Bridges in Crawley so i managed to arrive home by 17.00 so booked beat 2 and parked up in the car park at Grindleford
by 17.15 I put on my waders and then fished below the bridge on beat 1 for a short time and then
waded up beat 2 the first fish was a Grayling on a size 16 LDO dry I then waded further up beat 2
and caught 2 Brownies and a further Brownie. The river is in much better condition over the last 2 days because we have had no rain, although the forecast is for more rain over the next three days.
So it is unlikely that fishing will be possible over the weekend.

Well today I'm on my own as my wife and older daughter went to Bristol in my car to pick up all
my younger daughters belonging's. So I booked beat 9 and arrived at the river at about 15.00 I walked up to one off my favourite places and entered the river the flow was very strong I put on a
Nymph and cast for about half a hour I had a pull but no fish today. There were some Mayfly around I just hope they are still around when the river is in a better condition to fish. I opened the gate with my spare key and then put on my waders and then I couldn't find my key. I looked every where and didn't find it until 'i took off my waders and the keys was connected to my stocks Which was the good find because I locked the gate and would have been stuck with no key.

Today I booked beat 2 and parked my car in the Grindleford Car Park and had my lunch before I started
getting ready putting on my waders I waded in just below the bridge on beat 1 and caught a Brownie on a LDO dry and then waded up beat 2 and caught 2 more Brownies with the same fly. I noticed quite a few
mayfly flying around and being taken by the fish so I changed my fly to a mayfly and very quickly caught
2 more Brownies and a very good Rainbow before the rain started, so I called it a day and called for a coffee with my Sister in Grindleford. It was really good to see the mayfly at last.
