Feedback & Reports

Beautiful beat. Had the excellent services of Mick the ghillie. A few resident fish seen during the day, but none taken (probably down to my inability to put out a consistently good cast). Canoe traffic was fairly light, polite, and not a problem.

An excellent day with Mick the ghillie. Lovely 7lb cock fish from vanstone stream. I'll be back!

A few fish seen through the day. Had one good take but nothing landed. Used a black and orange tube 1".

No fish. Saw one coloured salmon and some canoeists.

Clear and bright day with sadly no fish seen, touched or caught.

River conditions were about 6 inch over low water with a slight touch of colour, so good conditions really. A couple of fish were seen in Vanstone but dark resident fish that did not want to look at a fly. I was suffering from a bad back so only fished through until 2pm from 8am. A lovely stretch of water in a great setting, I will definitely be fishing it more regularly in the Spring - the canoeists were also a nuisance as the day went on.
Mick the Ghillie was great and alongside being a really nice chap was a fountain of local knowledge - highly recommended for any newcomer to the beat.

Conditions good but salmon not seen.

nil catch

A number of fish showing in most pools. Once again great info from Mick put me in the right places. Moved a couple of fish on fly but no takes. Bit too much water and colour. Enjoyed the day on a great beat.

Clean hen fish of 5-6lbs taken on a size 10 Ally's Shrimp at ten o'clock, from the Maddox before the weekend onslaught of boat craft. The advice given by Mick Sutton the Ghillie was invaluable, proffering lie, pool information and successful fly selection.
The weather was hot and over cast in the morning and it brightened up at lunch as we retired to the Hostelrie to allow the boats to pass. The afternoon brought cloud cover then a huge thunder storm curtailing the fishing. Great beat and thanks Mick and WUF.
