Feedback & Reports

Absolutely fantastic day out at one of my favorite beats to fish anywhere. Access is great, but without seeming overly maintained or manicured which I admire the owner for. There are different types of water to suit all types of flyfishing.

It was a bit of a tough go for the fishing. The weather has been really cold for the past 10 days or so and I couldn't manage to find the grayling. I landed two OOS brownies which were very lively and safely returned. I can't wait to come back during warmer weather.

2 Trout

Gauge at 0.56, water at a nice level. Access very easy. Caught both fish on an orange tag blowtorch nymph and lost two others (1 grayling and another oos trout).
The grayling caught was a lovely size, around 1.5lbs, and in pristine condition. Although no fish rising there were a lot of small flys coming off as the day warmed, the river appears to be in great health and I will return in spring.

All taken on nymph in slower deeper seams and runs

No fish, I think it was a bit cold and the river was quite low at about half a metre on the Cilmery gauge. Still nice to get out

A bit of a slow, cold day on the grayling front - not unexpected given the conditions. The only fish we saw fell from the sky - this nice brown trout that was coughed up whole by a flight of 5 cormorants that passed overhead.

0.63 on Disserth guage and falling, -4oC mid morning, snow still on ground, 18" visibility.

First time on this river. Tough day . First and only bite at dusk after covering as much if the beat I could access. I guess I was a day or too early (too much colour?) or the snow-melt killed it?

In winter, when wading up/downstream is not allowed I would say only 25-30% of beat is accessible. Requires some ingenuity to reach the water in places (and my waders succumbed the barbed wire)

1 Grayling

Very tough day today, lots of water covered by the 2 of us no sign of a fish.

0, nil, nothing, not even a bite. Still great to get out though.

1 Grayling, 3 Chub
