Feedback & Reports

The fish weren't hungry today. We fished from the lowest part of the beat from just above the camp site, avoiding the campers. We saw a few risers around midday but after that until 5 when we left we didn't see any more trout. Insect life was limited to a few isolated small hatches with no fish activity.
The water was crystal clear. I nearly trod on a lamprey at the top of the beat near the bridge which was a bit surprising, more for the lamprey than me. Just a bit unlucky today I think as it is a very beautiful and varied beat.

Great beat few fish rising. 2 small trout caught on goldhead nymph.

Cold downstream wind made things quite tricky at times however we had a good time. Ten trout to 38cm most on dries.

A very windy day made for difficult conditions with little fly life showing. Having said that only 1 came to a nymph, the most successful fly - a size 14 black Klink. Best fish 18in with 2 at 16in.
The one that got away, a very big fish, after giving a right old run around dissapeared under the road bridge into the next beat, sorry about that.

All in all a good day's fishing. Conditions were a bit challenging with fairly constant rain/drizzle and the temperature not getting much above 12 degrees. There were a trickle of olives and other flies hatching through the day but nothing significant. That said, from 1-3pm the trout were rising enthusiastically to those that were there. Caught 6 trout to 1.5 lb, equally split between the middle section around the Salmon pool and above Penpont bridge. Really plump fresh spring trout. Great sport. One caught on a goldhead PTN at lunchtime, the rest on a small Adams through the afternoon. The rain finally drove me off the river at 6pm. A wonderful day and a lovely beat.

Very good conditions on this lovely stretch of water. We fished from midday until aroung 19:45 with a total catch of 9 trout to 14", all on Grey Wulff. For us this was one of our best days and we came away pleased with oursleves despite one broken rod and a lost wading staff. Will go back and will maybe find the wading staff somewhere.

Both to nymph. River had some colour initially and was up. Then within 30mins it coloured right up with a lot of debris coming down. Started to clear a bit later in the day but remained up.
