Fished down at Machen yesterday,
Had a few good fish and saw a few salmon leaping.
Had around 40 grayling, most of them on the small nymphs under a Stimmi, also a few Czech nymphing in the deeper pockets.
Here are a few snaps.

Isnt it a chub? Rudd have upturned mouths as they're surface feeders. Great pics keiron, keep them coming. Glad you survived your day with the 'Sarge'!! Is he the reason you fell in?
