Feedback & Reports

No fish. Bright sun possibly didn't help chances. Top pools inaccessible due to brambles and Himalayan Balsam. Lower pools excellent though. Thanks WUF.

Good day, and Mick as usual was particularly helpful.

lovely day out enjoyed my time and the advice from Mick.The amount of weed in the river made conditions difficult, seen some salmon but sorry to report no fish caught.

12.15 5lb (weighed )male fish on Collie Dog. Pool was Dog Holes. Trout of 1.5lb also on Collie Dog.

1 Salmon, 1 Trout

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!

1 Salmon

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.
