Grayling Social 2019

Perfect weather for today’s grayling social, it may have only been a small turnout but all methods were covered. We had one long trotting, one fly fishing and one fly fishing for pike. The grayling today preferred bait vs a deep nymph and one resident pike eagerly took a fly cast under a willow tree. …

Grayling Day

Huge thanks to Charles & Alex Jardine for coming along for our annual Grayling Day. Unfortunately the river was brown & cold after over night rain so no fish were caught. But we did enjoy one of John Aplin’s curries next to river – thanks to him for that and for Members who also contributed …

Last Gasp Trip

We did manage a last gasp trip for grayling at the end of February.  There was a chill east wind but the river was not too high and relatively clear. We wanted to try a new spot after the opening of the upper water so tested a few likely pools at Whitfield Hatches.  It was …

Grayling Social

It was a really dark dank day but there was a great turnout for the grayling social and luckily the river was in perfect conditions. After a quick chat and an agreed lunchtime rendezvous, we all headed off to fish for the lady of the stream. The nymph fisherman found the grayling very uncooperative, but …

Q=2*W*H^1.5

When gazing at the river have you ever wondered how much water is flowing past you? The Club’s website gives the link to the Environment Agency and the water levels at Loud’s Mill and the weir on the Stinsford side stream but how do those relate to the amount of water flowing in the river? …
