A very enjoyable day despite no fish seen or felt. A lovely stretch of the river on a beautiful sunny autumnal day!

I haven't been to this beat before and it is a fabulous tretch of river. Some was not fishable due to the height of the water, but it is varied with lots of places to have a crack. Such a shame then there were no fish! I caught only 1 small trout. Odd that, as I usually catch several. but there were no other fish seen, heard or touched. I had REALLY hoped to have at least SEEN a salmon...

Fished Sat and Sunday. Both very hot days, clear blue skies. Very few trout seen, and those which we did had very little interest in our flies. Lovely fishery.

Very hot day, clear skies. Very minimal rises seen. Saw a few trout but no interest in our offerings. Secluded, beautiful fishery.

Tough weather conditions with river I would imagine at summer low levels. Managed two small brown trout. Olive pattern and emerger.
Stunning piece of water, left bank upstream of the bridge. Would definitely pay another visit.

A great venue for a days fishing and very helpful at the estate office setting us up for the day. One decent size WBT about 12", I saw a few Hawthorne fly and used a size 14 black parachute adams, caught to a rising fish under trees at the start of the beat (Solomon's seat). The beat has good access, lots of pools and riffles, easy wading, but I would recommend using a wading staff, very slippery rocks. Heavy rain during the day, not much coming off the river, a few small flies, saw a few fish rising.
