Well today was the first outing of the new fishing season, I was so excited to be in the river again, I met up with two of my pals David and Dennis and his grandson on beats 8 9 & 10 they went to bottom of beat 8 and I walked up beat 9 there wasn't much rising so I put on a Gold head Pheasant Tail Nymph and very quickly caught my first Brown Trout of the new season followed by another Brownie before moving to the start on Beat 9 where I caught a really nice Grayling and another Brownie. We had all agreed to stop at 12.45 for lunch in the Hut, so the morning fishing finished with a good chat and a drink. a very enjoyable morning.
