Today I booked beat 3 for the afternoon, I parked in Grindleford Car Park put my waders on and waded
up beat 2 and caught a small brown trout on a Nymph, the fish are starting to rise but not to much.I continued to wade up beat 3 and still had a Nymph on but nothing came to take it. I decided to call it a day
i fished for about 2 hours and walked past all the sheep and lambs back to my car.

Well this morning I booked beat 2 which is just above Grindleford, as I waded up the beat I had a dipper and a kingfisher as company there wasn't much rising until I waded up beat 3 past the hut
and there was quite a bit of action with fish rising I cast across the water and a beautiful brown trout
went for my size 16 Large dark Olive dry it was 2lbs in weight. This is my first fish of this new season. I fished on until 12.00 and then walked back to my car.
