I wasn't sure whether the river would be fishable tonight, when I walked the dog last night
and looked over the old bridge in Baslow the river looked very coloured after all that rain on Sunday. When I looked tonight I thought yes it's worth a go, so at 7.30pm I landed on beats 6/7 which are between Grindleford and Hathersage and the mayfly were still very much all over, the river still had a bit of colour which is very handy on beat 7 as it's narrow and easy to spook the fish, there are some very large fish in the stretch, so on with size 12 mayfly and first cast a really good Brownie and very quickly 3 more Brownies on the same fly, then I had a cracker of a fish on which broke my 5X tippet, so I moved down onto beat 6 still with the mayfly and had 3 more Brownies and 1 Grayling. Overall a very enjoyable evening !!
