Feedback & Reports

River higher than I would like and the water was very warm. Plenty of salmon showing, but nothing more than play. fished 06.00 to 11.30 when the canoes became too frequent.

Looks like a nice bit of water and did see a couple of fish but failed to connect with them. Mick was very helpful.

2 Chub

Great fly water but no luck today. Six salmon moving in Vanstone and 2 in the wires. But no takes on fly apart from a chub and a perch. This must be the best kept beat on the river - clear pathways and cut out steps.

First time on this Beat, and a lovely spot. Thought I'd get there early to miss the Canoes, which did indeed come and spoilt the party mid morning. However, had a few hours of enjoyable fishing, The neck of the Maddox Pool looked like the best bet, but no fish seen. Did see a coloured fish jumping about in the Vanstone, but very difficult to present a fly in such slow running water. Will bring a spinning rod next time, which I think you need to get the best out of the beat.

Thank you to Mick, for his kind advice and direction. I will be using his services next time I come.

Level slightly high and still with some colour. Fly only and no contacts. Did see a few fish, one very coloured.

Water with a rise of 9 inches and constant weed flowing down and cloudy made the day impossible to fish. Packed up at 10.30 am given up as a bad day.

Water rise of 9 inches but full of weed and very thick and murky. Packed up at 10.30am, could not use fly or spin.

Several salmon seen but would not take.

Nice day, nice beat. No salmon caught.

Only had couple of hours fishing before driving back to Cornwall. Lots of fish showing in the Vanstone Pool, some colouring residents & some very fresh fish. Had a lot of problems with weed drifting down a catching on the line & lure. Also couple of fish showed in the lines. Very frustrating morning with the weed.
