Feedback & Reports

All trout bar one in the 1 .75 to 2lb mark and all fought hard. Lost several other good sized fish too. Heavy grannom hatch from arrival (11am) to around 3pm with lots of trout rising in the steadier water. Grannom emerger patterns and flashback nymph worked best.

A lovely day on the river but no fish. Bright sunny conditions and low water.
Only saw half a dozen rises all day but did see a large Salmon in one of the pools

Fished the river on one of the hottest days of the heatwave and not a lot stirring. Some of the local residents decided to swim in the river to cool down and ended any chance of landing a few. Beautiful river though and an evening or early morning session would have been fantastic. Only slight annoyance is the nearby road and hearing the cars and occasional truck makes it harder to forget you’re not truly out in the “wild”.

No fish but only a very short evening session. Sporadic hatch but seems to intensify after I had packed up (as ever). Rose one very substantial fish on an emerger. Will be back and next time will fish until it is truly dark!

First time here and it was a lovely beat, no salmon seen. I was told by two anglers fishing the opposite bank that from the bottom of tail pool right down to the end of the beat was reserved for them, the “cider mill” beat they said. As it was my first time here I said ok but is this correct?
Fishing Passport Note : Absolutely correct, the opposite bank from the bottom of the tail pool is the Cider Mill beat.
