Feedback & Reports

No fish caught had a salmon swirl to the fly in the Vanstone pool, several fish showing there, mostly coloured. A Good days
fishing. Top end of beat could do with strimming access points to pools as its heavily overgrown.

You did warn us that access to the upper part of the beat had been reported as 'difficult'. That is certainly true, if the river had been higher then it could have been dangerous to exit the river in many locations. At the height we had on Saturday it was ok as you could wade large sections of the river and walk back against the flow when necessary.

No fish caught, no fish seen.

No fish caught and no fish seen. Anglers should be careful of trying to get in the water above the Dog Hole as there is a metal spike hidden in the undergrowth waiting to spear them (bent it over as much as I could).

No fish seen or caught.
