Feedback & Reports

A cold downstream wind for most of the day. A very sparse hatch of LDOs that didn't last but fish did target them and we had some sport on the dries. Spiders also accounted for some fish. Best fish was around 2lbs, most others in the 8-12 inches bracket. Great to be back on the water!

Lots of trout rising and jumping but tricky to tempt in the still hot conditions.

Sad seeing a sewage outfall pipe with very smelly discharge going straight into the river. Was only thing that detracted from the beat.

River on its bones despite some overnight rain. Managed a couple of 12ins trout to #14 black beadhead (gold) nymph in faster water before the cloud turned to sunshine. No fish taken.

Overcast, cool wind. Plenty of spinners around until mid pm. Fish rising in slower pools and runs but mostly small chaps. Fishing was challenging as the river is extremely low and large pools almost static. Managed to winkle 3 BT out on dries. CDC Shuttlecock and Crystal Flash post. black klink. Action died mid pm and there was no evening hatch or rise. Very pleasant session nevertheless.
