I only spent a hour at this beat. I found it to be very overgrown and no fish were caught.

8 x trout 6-10 inches, size 18 Williams Favourite. A day of small things with just a few fish looking up to midges. I only fished the morning. Some maintenance is due on this beat from the management come the winter - branches are meeting overhead in some places.

Arrived at the Lyepole beat to find the water slightly higher than normal and fairly chocolatey. Didn't see a single fish rise all day despite abundant fly life but had a decent day on silver and bronze beaded pheasant tail nymphs with a french nymph setup and a klink and dink. We had 10 Grayling and 6 Trout between us. Biggest being a Grayling approx 1lb. Very enjoyable day.

10 Grayling, 6 Trout

Arrived at the river to find it a little coloured but seemed fine to fish. Day was hot and humid after heavy rain on the Sunday. Started well with a nice trout on the 3rd cast and then continued with fish being taken slowly and steadily throughout the day. Ended up with 7 brown trout and 2 grayling all on French leader and PTNs. Some fly life seen but no fish rising.

Got to the beat c 11:00. Weather mostly rain until after lunch and cold at around 11C. No sign of fly life until about 14:30. Only saw one fish rising to a fly which I couldn’t identify. A couple of small mayfly about 15:30 which the fish seemed to ignore. Left about 15:30 when it was beginning to warm up a little. All that said, a decent day on what looks like a really nice beat on a better day. Took both fish on a GHPTN under a green Klink.
