Feedback & Reports

No luck today! Did manage a take on a Gold Bead Hares Ear in the faster water but he didn’t stay on. Plenty of fly life around the 6pm mark with occasional rises but none to my dry fly offerings. Parking nice and close to the beat but I would urge care when walking down to the river through the gate opposite where the parking is. The route down can be slightly precarious so take your time. Not to bad walking along the beat it’s generally ok, although a slight bit of bushwhacking might be called for.
Did catch a glimpse of a mink but couldn’t get my phone out quick enough to take a pic!
Wading was ok but current can be pretty strong and can also be slightly rocky underfoot

3 Trout

Nothing seen or caught

1 small trout caught on a spider. Route to bank very overgrown at the minute, would recommend parking on the other bank and walking to the beat with the recent rain much easier to access the river too.

1 Trout

Water fairly low and bright sunshine. 2 lovely sized trout, 1.5/2lbs both caught on perdigon nymph under a dry cast into pool tails.
Sadly lots of people letting their dogs jump in the river and 3 or 4 families swimming, boating and skimming stones in the big pool by the island. Would have probably had a lot more fish if they were not present.

2 Trout, 1 Chub

Blank. Only fished for 2 hours early evening. Lost 2 trout, one of which broke the line. Trout beginning to get active 8.30pm.

1 x brown trout 11'',1 x brown trout 14''. Both taken on small yellow/ brown mayfly dries from the glide at the bottom of the beat. Had to leave at 8.15pm, as the action was really kicking off. A good little beat if you are happy wading out and fishing in the river.

2 Trout

1 x brown trout 10''. Taken on a dry from the nice glide at the bottom of the beat. Plenty of trout activity in the evening just before dark.

River was very high and only managed to catch one small Trout. Was using a 4/5 weight rod, floating line and black and orange fly. Enjoyed my time on the water and have to give a big thanks to fishing passport staff for answering my queries after hours and generally making the fishing a great experience. Will be back soon to fish the river.
