Feedback & Reports

River clear and a nice height, 0.4 on Abernant gauge. 1 small brown on a march brown para during a small hatch of March browns. The hatch lasted about 5 minutes, 4-5 fish rising but then nothing again. Managed to rise another but didn't connect. Another brown on nymphs and lost another in the same pool.

Style in serious need of repair and no Style to cross last fence with barbed wire.

Great to be back here,, it’s been a while. Trout around 12” Grayling 13”, 8”, 6”. Lost a good sized fish at the top of the beat. Trout to a #16 Griffiths, Grayling all to #16 Hares ear nymph. River slightly high at .50 but best spots fishable. Catching leaf time approaching.

A lovely day, but river was too high - certainly for my limited skills!!

Again, river running low. Some interesting stretches/pockets remained to fish. Long and lovely beat. Great variety to fish !

River at the perfect level, started with a team of spiders - moved nothing. Despite no fish rising I switched to dry fly and caught two fish in the first five minutes - the biggest being a pound and a half trout. Later caught a couple of grayling.
Lovely beat.

Very hot and sunny. River very low. had a couple of half hearted touches but no takes.

Hooked and played two good trout and lost both! Struck late on another two and failed to hook either! A tough full day (0930 to 1830) of fishing but fun. Saw some very good size trout in the gutters and some in the still areas of the river. Enough fly life and rises to keep me hoping...

Abernant gauge showing 0.6m and falling.
2ft visibility and lots of leaves and debris coming down. 5 OOS Trout on Nymphs, Red Tag, lost another OOS Trout. No fish rising despite a steady trickle of olives coming off from 11am throughout the afternoon. 1 grayling hooked and lost on an emerger pattern, shook the hook at the net, about 12oz.

First time on this lovely beat, will be back when the river is below 0.45m and visibility is better for wading.
