Saturday 4th July

We had quite a lot of rain yesterday, but the Derwent today was in great shape. I booked
beats 14 & 15 which are between Hathersage and Bamford where the stepping stones cross the river. The views of the hills around on both sides are spectacular. I waded into the bottom of the first pool deciding what fly to try-nothing rising for 10mins. Then it started a put on a size 16 all brown fly and the first fish was a cracking 2lb Brownie followed by 4 more brownies and 1 grayling. A really enjoyable couple of hours before heading for home to do some gardening.
