Ellastone,dove 8th may

Had the afternoon at ellastone on the dove today .
Nice weather lovely place but the fish didnt want
to play ball.Went through different flies ,dry/nymphs
managed a few on a danger baby nymph ,very small
fish but wild .

Plenty of grayling about but not so many trout.

Maybe the weather as been too hot for them.

The river looked in good nick but probably needs a bit

more weed growth to give the fish more cover.

The only trees that are not in leaf are the broad

leafs and maybe this will also give more shade

and cover when they finally come into leaf.
