Feedback & Reports

Its a long walk to the top of the beat from the parking and when you get there its is very overgrown. We saw a few fish move but they looked stale and no takers.

Water a perfect height at 10" but unfortunately quite dirty with heavy particulates that probably put the fish down.
Access has been improved on this beat with a number of cut paths down to the waters edge.

Nil return.

Teaching my 14yr old daughter to cast, she hooked a fish on a size 16 ally's shrimp which took 15 mins to land on the 9ft 7wt rod. Turned out to be a 4lb chub - not a salmon but a great fight nonetheless!

1 Chub

Nil return but several salmon showing.

Nil return. Saw about 10 shows throughout the day from 5am until 7pm fished about 60% fly and 40% flying C and Minow lures.

Had enjoyable days fishing. Saw 4 salmon show in morning and caught 2 chub on spinner, 1 of 2lb & another of 3lb from The Maddox. The canoes came through very early at 6.40am. Fished to 9am then came back 4pm & fished through to 8pm. No canoes in afternoon & no more salmon.

Nothing seen or caught - water quite murky, well under 12" visibility.

First time at Goodrich. Generally I was really pleased with the venue. First impression was that access was not good, however, once you make your way to the rivers edge, access and casting was generally possible on most pools.

The weather was probably too bright for most of the day. Even though I blanked, a reasonable fish did show in the tail of the Cottage pool, at around 11am.

WUF Note: The beat has been strimmed this weekend and the access to the pools is now clear.

Water with in surprising good 'nick' at 8" on Fownhope gauge and felt very fishy. Two shows of small class fish and a couple of bumps to the fly is all I have got to report. Good work on the bank, access to pools never been easier. Thank you.
