Feedback & Reports

A lift of only 4” or so after the weekend thundery weather but the water clarity was good. The catch came from the top of the beat when I briefly put up a trout rod during a sketchy mixed olive hatch mid afternoon. All decent fish of 8-11”.Fished the double hander most of the day.Alas, no evidence of any salmon up here yet.
The local Hostas seem to like the low water though!

All of the fish were caught at the top which is the only part of the beat that is worthwhile at the the moment.Spooky fish in the low water with only 5” on the gauge and the cool downstream breeze meant that there weren’t many rising either side of midday. A few olives, and a sparse grannom hatch but no mayfly seen.
An early finish , but I did spend a few hours fishing small salmon flies through the deeper pools at the bottom .Nothing touched or seen.

Caught a 2lb Shad at the Stream, just outside the fishing hut, on a salmon lure.

I had no luck at the Rock pool, so tried a small buzzer on a light trout rod and caught 3 lovely wild brown.

Tricky fishing but very enjoyable- hut could do with a clean up.
