Feedback & Reports

First time on Greenbank beat. Fascinating, and very different from further upstream. Not easy to find the fish - assuming they were feeding at all. Very few rises except for about 15 minutes about 8pm. But the one I did catch was a nice one of about 1¼lbs, on a nymph.

Very tricky conditions, sunny, low water and downstream wind. Had a 14" trout on a nymph, and a couple of smaller fish at last light. Spinner fall at 7:30pm, couldn't work out for the life of us what they were eating - quite frustrating! Some days you think that you have the game worked out, not today...

Caught 3, missed a few myself or they missed the fly lol. Very nice location and feels like I should have done better but at least caught something

Lovely beat. We only fished for a few hours in the afternoon. Teaching my wife and daughter how to cast! Saw several rises and I think we would have had a successful day if we had focused on fishing (catching!).

We will definitely return.

Lost several trout, one felt like quite a decent fish - over a pound easily, but it threw the hook after a few seconds. Plenty of takes on the dry fly but failed to hook any successfully. Down stream wind made casting difficult. A lone otter was making its way up the bottom of the beat at dusk. Will be back, excellent beat.

Caught some really nice trout up to 1. 5lb.
All trout were caught euro nymph fishing on pink tags.

BEWARE OF THE COWS, if you park in the field and there are cows present, don't stray to far from your vehicle, I did today and the cows licked my car to death damaging some of the bodywork. This will be reported to the fishing passport head office.

First time on this beat.lots of shad about,and not many trout. Open stretch that’s not the place to be when windy,lovely pools,a bit of everything,easy wading,no fences to get over,good access,parking enclosure is a joke tbh,would just fit in there in my discovery but would be able to get out due to fence (barbed wire ),so parked next to it,only sheep in the field so not to concern,but cows have been about,as the like to scratch on vehicles and will cause serious damage. All methods worked,euro nymphing,down and across,only missed 2 on drys,cold wind kept them down.
Enough water for 2 anglers to be busy all day,4x4 is handy as the middle to lower is best for trout fishing as you can drive half way next to river.
Would definitely return to this beat.
