Feedback & Reports

Water was too high to take full advantage of the whole beat.

The river was still a bit high for the fly, with a foot of water over the planks throughout the beat. Even so, I was surprised to not have a single offer in four hours fishing, using a variety of conventionally presented,and high sticked nymphs. A leaf or two every other cast didn’t help but a very quiet day today.

No catch

Nothing seen or caught.
Did see 3 otters in playing in the reeds outside the cottage.

No salmon seen / caught.

ok well where to start, I have fished this beat hard over the last two days and have nothing to show for it. I have not seen a salmon, or come to that a trout or grayling, strange real strange , I sat at the hut in the willow pool for half an hour and never saw a thing. So again from this beat a nil return

nothing seen or caught

this was a funny and confusing day. We fished hard all three of us yesterday and to-day and didn't see or touch a thing. The willow pool and house pool look great as does the bridge, and spring pool , but they all seem baron. After a seat and chat with the boys I decided to go up to the top gutters, wow what an hour, first off a fish took on the dangle fought it for ten minutes and then ping off it swam . ok calm down and start again, bang into a different fish this one stuck, a full 9lbs the one I lost was bigger maybe about the 12lb mark It gave a quick good fight was unhooked and released without coming out of the river. On a sad point though, I came across a big diseased fish ,in the 18-20lb range, really badly covered in disease what a shame

this was so disappointing it really was, nothing touched or seen. ARE THERE ANY FISH THERE
