A lovely afternoon but no takers!

Dramatic stretch of water in a beautiful setting. The middle to lower section of the beat presented quite a challenge to a 64 year old with a bad knee but well worth the effort, just nice to be out and fishing in glorious late Autumn weather. 1 grayling caught around 2pm on sawyer killer bug.

1 Grayling

Enjoyed a lovely day at this beat. After a promising start using the klink and dink the activity was low during noon. At the end of the day fish were active again.

3 Trout, 5 Grayling

A really lovely stretch of river reminding me of rivers in Scotland with well defined deep pools separated by runs or small falls. Level probably a little low. A few fish moving, plenty of insect life hatching. All three trout were approx 8-9 inches and apparently healthy, safely returned. 2 caught on bead head nymphs and 1 on a grey dun, about size 12.

3 Trout

Low water levels, but very enjoyable for a visiting angler. Trout caught were all under 8 inches and in excellent condition. All fish were safely returned. Directions to the beat were excellent.
Apologies for this delayed return - I had trouble finding wifi!

3 Trout, 2 Grayling

A lovely days fishing on my 1st visit to this beat. Arrived 9am fished until 2pm. Had a good variety of fish on heavy nymphs fished through the deeper sections. Best trout at 1 1/2lb, best grayling slightly smaller. All fish returned safely.

4 Trout, 3 Grayling

I did not catch any grayling but had three trout to approximately 12 ozs. Obviously, these were returned. The beat is absolutely terrific and I would not hesitate to return - for another attempt at grayling or, in season, for trout. The three trout I caught were all in good condition and the average size very good by wild trout standards. I think the Foundation is a great concept and I look forward to trying some other beats.

Only fished for couple of hours in morning. Some fish seen leaping sp. unknown and had couple of small wbt 8-9" on dry fly and couple of solid takes on ghptn not landed but bigger fish.
