Feedback & Reports

Arrived late after a horrendous journey on the M4 east of the bridge. Held up in Wales by two abnormal loads meeting head to head on a narrow road-each with its tail back behind. Found wet sqally conditions and managed one pull on GRHE and one rise to a klinkhammer. After 18 months off rivers I was too rusty to connect.

The river was quite low but perfect for trout and a warm day. Had plenty of takes, landed 5 fish between 2 rods, beautiful Grayling to 14 inches. Various methods of Fly but best on day was a small nymph under dry fly indicator.
Four fish returned to water, one brown trout kept.
Wading on the day was good on gravel with low water but beware of slippery boulders!
Thanks for a great day first time here, well organised.

A blank day. Mainly down to my inexperience as a flyfisher I believe. River low, overcast. A few fish rising, but mainly fished nymph. A lovely beat. Enjoyed the Dippers and Kingfishers.

River fished well in challenging conditions at times. This stretch offers a full variety of waters and dries, wets and nymphs all useful in the right spots (anglers staying for the evening rise on some of the smooth "flats" would do well to pack a few very small gnat flies - and be ready for a large fish!).
All fish caught were of good size - 1lb and upwards.
Have wanted to fish here for years - it didn't disappoint.

Very few rising fish. Grayling - when located were quite obliging. Smallest fish was half a pound. Biggest a pound and a half. Trout in 8-12" class. All caught on small goldhead.

Low water. Not much activity until mid day - afternoon.

Too low, too clear, too hot, too bright.

Downstream wind made conditions difficult and limited fish to rising only very occasionally. A couple of decent Grayling up to around 1.75lb and a few smaller. A few trout up to around 0.75lb and numerous salmon parr. Grayling very spread out and not shoaled up. Kept on thinking when I hooked one I would be into a few more, but no, only one every so often. Maybe a bit of frost in a few weeks.
