Feedback & Reports

River low and very clear. Bright and breezy afternoon with nothing rising. Tried spiders and duo with no response. More hatches started at 5 to 6 pm and fish started to rise at around 7 pm. We netted 3 WBT between 1 to 1.5 lbs (safely returned) and 3 good fish slipped the hook (probably due to our incompetence!). All fish caught on Jonathan Barnes Soft Hackle dries and we were never sure what the fish were feeding on. Lovely afternoon and evening on the water.

Fished 10 till late. River was quite low. Fished mostly dry flies only but had to search for rising fish. Had many more opportunities and fish on than the 5 fish landed shows. Best Dry Flies were Hares Ear Klink and Adams.

Some rises but a difficult days fishing with no fish.

2 x trout 8 inches and 16 inches, Parachute Adams. River still down on its bones. One trespassing canoeist trying to come down the river sent up to the canal.

Blanked today. After 2 years away from the river due to Covid etc I was blundering around like a beginner frightening the fish. It was good to be back and I look forward to relearning the craft.
