Its been hectic in the Coasty house lately having a new kitchen installed , Including new boiler and replastered ceiling and walls, Its been a pain and cost me a fortune. So today when the sun came out I thought I would try my little beck the spate has gone now and this mornings early morning dog walk showed a stream in fine fettle, I reckoned I could wangle a couple of hours without copping for the wrath of Mrs C...

So of I went with mi grayling bugs and a few drys to see if the ladies wanted to play, Nothing much rising so started on the pink shrimps, Fourth cast a good take and after a minute or two of anticipation of a good Grayling coming to the net a perch of about a pound and a half came bristling over the net,, My first ever perch from the beck , about half a dozen casts later and a few hundred yds downstream a cracking take and yea you guessed it perch number two a cracker maybe a few ounces heavier, I wished I had the camera. By now was down in a bg weir pool and there was a fish rising in the eddy after a few casts a take and good scrap resulted in a small chub..

Well done on the Perch and Chub, always a nice surprise to catch them in my book.
Awful blog IMO, you shouldn't be allowed such pretty streams in Yorkshire, and where's the pretty lady of the week, like Loopy's. ?
And don't say the Ure grayling.

In that case I take it all back, when Bruce is about, I need your support.
The Eden awaits you Andy, you know that, can't promise it's as beautiful though, but it is to me.

Bruce where are you?

Don't complain about catching no ladies Andy, those were nice sized Perch you caught!

I can see the headlines now : Mr, Trout and Coasty, hand in hand skipping along the banks of the Eden.

Well, Bruce was not about to pass comment.

Pushing it a bit there M, perhaps, arm in arm limping along the banks is nearer.
