Faced with a sunny and suprisingly warm day, it seemed an ideal opportunity to check out some new water - with some potential for winter grayling and perhaps a venue to introduce people to fishing small streams. As said in battle, 'Time spent in reconnaissance is seldom wasted' and certainly it is true for visiting rivers too!





There were a few feeding fish, but with high banks and a following sunshine, getting close to see what they were was just not on the cards. Still, encouraging to see and gets the rod arm twitching for a imminent grayling venture on a new river... watch this space!
