Fished the bottom of the beat for a few hours from about 11.30 am today, starting 60m or so downstream of the girder bridge. The water is very low – 0.19m on the gauge – and few fish rising. I was fishing a couple of weighted nymphs. Hooked a couple of 7″ grayling early on – one came off, the other stuck. Was hoping for some action in the weir pool but zilch. Did hook what looked like a very nice fish, just on the dam wall (took the point nymph as it landed), but it came off after a couple of seconds. Frustrating session!
