Feedback & Reports

Fly fishing, wet fly and dry fly. Catch and release.

5 Trout, 3 Grayling

Lost two salmon in Orchard fishing a Cascade #8 all within 20 mins. Inspection showed one of the hooks was slightly bent, so a lesson learned. Gutted is an understatement, but a memorable day none the less. Fish both showed after taking and were very clean this late in the season. Water still a little coloured.

First time on this beat and only fished from the mill stream down a couple of pools. All trout came from the fast pacey water and most of the grayling from the heads of pools. 3 biggest grayling 14 16 and 17 inches, the others caught were salmon parr. What I fished was very nice water but cannot comment on what's below as didn't fish it. All took point fly on team of nymphs.

River level dropping and getting clearer.
No fish showing all day. Fished the duo with a gold head nymph taking the fish.

A sufficiently beautiful stretch of river to keep two novices happily casting all day without catching a single fish...

River running high and cloudy.
