Today I booked beat 17 which is next to all the children's play area at Bamford Recreation sports Ground.  I waded up the beat there were a few fish rising and very quickly caught two brownies
and lost another one. I started about 5.00 and finished at 7.00 as I walked back to my car I started chatting with a guy who used to fish when he was younger on this beat. I really enjoyed my fishing today.

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.
