Feedback & Reports

After a cold start the sun finally came up and warmed us up. River was pretty low and fly water hard to come by. Disturbingly there was a flock of approx 40 cormorants circling the river on our arrival, I have never seen so many flying at one time.
No signs of fish at all throughout the whole fishery. I hope that the two coarse anglers fared better than us!
Failed to trouble the scorer.

Nil return

Fished beat 5, as instructed by Terry Ward and never had a bite after six/seven hours.Bit disappointed as we traveled many miles with hope that my friend and I would be put in an area with at least a small chance of catching a fish.

River was low and in places quite sluggish for the fly. However, there were some nice pools to fish. It would have been useful to have more detailed notes of pools to fish and where these pools are. A nice day out on a new bit of water. Plenty of coloured fish showing and moving through the beat.

Wonderful beat with salmon moving throughout. The whole river system was low however we started to get bites at dusk with 1 rod catching a brace of barbel over 8lbs. Great day!

Poor day, not even a bite, although first time we fished this venue. Conditions not easy (sunny, clear,low water).
Fished beats 3, 4 and 5 did a lot of walking, nice place as expected but long drive home.

Saw fish on both beat 2 and beat 3 but failed to catch anything.
