Feedback & Reports

Tough conditions, water very low. But a superb location and plenty rising around me and further upstream, tricky to catch, lost a lot more than I hooked. Part of the fun, will be back!

3 Trout, 6 Grayling

Nothing caught

Tougher fishing than last time. Few missed fish but one really nice grayling and two small trout all on nymphs.

2 Trout, 1 Grayling

Low water levels and difficult conditions. A few fish were lost, in addition to the two landed. The fish landed were caught on small streamers.
A mink was sighted hunting along the edge of the river, downstream of the castle, behind the houses at the bottom of town.
An enjoyable afternoon, thank you.

2 Trout

Fished the BCAC stretch of the Tees from top the their water to bottom. Mostly nymphing caught at least 12 grayling (some over a pound) and 6 brown trout, mostly small but one large. All fish returned quickly to the water. River was low and clear.

15 Trout

Weather hot and humid, with thunderstorms around
Fished 18:30 to 20:00
Water level slightly higher than yesterday.
A few bites off my worms. A couple of fish seen jumping late in the session

Weather - Hot, initially light cloud then sunny.
Water - Clear but shallow.
Population - a lot of swimmers (human thingies) upstream of the bridge and 2 snorkelling downstream beyond the exposed rocks.
Duration - 15:30 to 18:30
Location - 3 tried between 100 and 250 yards downstream of Green Bridge (South Bank)
Float fished worm trotting. Depth circa 2 to 4 feet depending on tactics.

One exceptional hit just at 14:30, just at the point of retrieving at the end of the trot. Definitely hooked (barbless size 12) but corkscrewed out of the water and dislodged the hook.

Guesstimating well over 12” long and perhaps nudging 2lb. Colour indicated Brown Trout. ????

Hope to try again tomorrow evening but a bit even later than previous afternoons.
