Feedback & Reports

River very high.

Warm, overcast with bursts of sunshine, slight breeze but fine for cast control.
Various fly types on the water, but trout rising to take yellow may duns. Hatches were spasmodic but when on, trout seen to leap into the air to take them. Takes were often aggressive and all fish caught and more lost, were fishing a dun imitation.

Fished after few days of rain, lower beat. No luck. Various wet flys.

We fished a good range of flies in the heat of a very hot day. 11am - 4pm. Far from ideal in such conditions.

All fish returned to the river. 9 of them caught on dries.

Both caught trotting worm upstream Abbey Bridge. Fishing interrupted by about 20+ canoes launched by the packhorse bridge. Not a care in the world about anglers!!

Lovely spot to fish hopefully try Lartington stretch next time.
