Feedback & Reports

River was in flood due to heavy rain the day before, water was chocolate brown and presented very difficult conditions , still was able to produce a couple of fish, from the somewhat submerged boards near the hut.

1 Trout, 1 Grayling

Enjoyable days fishing, water slightly coloured so wading difficult. Managed to find a few small browns in the margins, all caught on a size 14 PT nymph. Grayling picked up in a deep run on heavy tungsten pattern.

River low and still falling but water temperature seemed OK. A few sedges and olives around but very few rises. All fish were small, and caught using dark shrimp on long leader with dry on dropper. No sign of any fish bigger than 8oz. Maybe if I'd stayed till dusk …. A lovely section, much more interesting than my last visit as I can see so much more of the river bed and its boulders. That will help when the salmon return.
(WUF please note that the stile in centre of (RH) beat has decayed and is now very dangerous. )

Water low, clouds and windy, 20’C. Not much surface activity, all fish taken on polish nymphing . Graylings up to 10”, browns bit shorter. Good fun. All safely returned.

Another scorching and bright day! But 34 fish all on dries as usual…. A pretty even split between trout, grayling and salmon parr and mostly small, not many over 12 inches except…a fish dimpling on the tail of a pool swirled and moved a lot of water. A good grayling by the rise! After a few casts he took the fly – wow a solid fish, much headshaking and didn’t see him for 5 minutes until his back broke the water – big bronze scales, a chub! Ah well, he was a 3lb fish so certainly respectable.
Some local lads came along with pallets and drums and proceeded to build a raft – what fun, plenty of room here to leave them to it!
