Today was the Grindleford Carnival so when I arrived on beats 2/3 at about 2.30pm, the Carnival was in full swing complete with band and loads of supporters so the fishing along side was a bit noisy and the wind was blowing and it was quite cold only 14 ° no fish rising so on with size 16 gold head turkey biot body nymph and managed to catch one very small brownie about 6" long and 10 mins later a very good brownie, this one only had one eye, it looked very strange. I waded up beat 2 towards to start of beat 3 and there was just nothing happening, so I called it a day and headed for home.
