Feedback & Reports

River visibility still only about 1 foot. Must be due to warm weather not rain. No fish seen. Expected to be able fly fish after dry period but due to colour used spinners and a large colour full fly due to water colour.

Dad was spinning for the salmon and worked the beat as extensively as he could from the bank. The water was pretty coloured and probably not in ideal condition. I coarse fished as a guest and a caught a barbel of about 6lbs from a nice run on the opposite bank towards the upper end of the beat. The stretch itself was certainly full of character and whilst endearing also a little intimidating. A pair of waders would probably help as access to the river is limited.

River coloured even in bright sun, visibility less than one foot. Spun with bright yellow and orange lures for 4 hours, the max time my back can take. Maybe next visit will be fly in lower clearer water which I can do all day. Any fish had their heads down.

Salmon grilse 3lbs - spinner Mepps 3 - returned.
Pike 4.5 lbs - spinner Mepps 3 - returned.

River a bit high. Fly only. Met beat owner, very nice guy. Lovely beat, will be back.

Fished for 3 hours, lost a grilse at the bottom of the beat and saw another couple of salmon and an otter. Can imagine the beat is very good when there's a little more water.

5lbs and 15lbs. Both coloured cocks.
