John,
I fished the upper water and the Wrackle this morning. A few fish were rising in places and it was not long before the first stock fish came to the net. Six fish were caught on the main river, three of which were stock fish. The native trout were all of a modest size between 9 and 11 inches in length. I did manage to catch the only trout that I saw rising in the Wrackle. By the time I finished at midday I saw only one Mayfly. I met no other members. All of the trout were caught on a green and black nymph.
Cheers,
Jim
Jim:
I was fishing below you and had a great mornings fishing. There was a steady hatch of pale wateries and the trout & grayling were feeding well – no mayfly seen.
River very low and hardly any weed growth, which is amazing after the huge growth of weed we had last season!
Cheers John

Angling’s representative body, the Angling Trust, has a web site for anglers to record sightings of cormorants, goosanders and mergansers throughout the UK: www.cormorantwatch.com The site is easy to use and will gather vital data to help persuade government of the need for action to protect fisheries.
Invasive plants and animals can carry diseases that kill fish, block waterways and banks, interfering with fishing. They can be small and hard to spot, so are easily spread on damp clothing and equipment.
Protect the environment and fishing you enjoy, by keeping your kit free of invasive plants and animals.
