Feedback & Reports

The fish I caught were less than half pound (released) . there was some big fish present but there was a breeze blowing and I was fishing upstream dry fly and did not take anything I was offering. It was my first time fishing this beat but will return again more prepared the next time. I enjoyed my days fishing and the setting is so peaceful and access to the river is very good.

Weather dry but cold with wind from East. Water .51m and clear. John fished woodstream with Partridge and orange spider with no result.
I had two around half pound each at tail end of chine pool on dry dark olive size 12. I ventured into deeper water in chine pool having seen a few decent fish only to ship a shedful of water through a rip in the upper part of my chest waders which was picked up unknowingly on lowering myself down the steel ladder into the pool.
The wind had picked up and the fishing died a death, and I gave it best and returned home.
I will attempt a repair and reenter the fray next week.
John blanked.

Lots of insects hatching, but few fish rising. and none caught, despite trying lots of things. I'm pretty inexperienced so maybe others do better (see other reviews from this month) despite the bright sun and low water. Lovely stretch of water and thanks to Barry the owner for taking the trouble to contact me on the day with info, suggestions and also for actively maintaining access to the river (if not the actual fish).

Another fine day for trout fishing, water .55m and light breeze. Fished wood stream first subsurface with a single goldhead haresear nymph size 12. Landed 3 nice size trout to three quarters of a pound. Gabe fished subsurface with march brown spider with no takes. Some very good trout rising up above in Chine Pool so switched to dry dark olive and landed a very good trout of one and a quarter pound. Could not get to some really good fish above in the very deep water by the chine.
Gabe had no luck at all despite fishing hard. All fish taken between 12 and 3.
Great day out!!!

Water .61m and gin clear, 10c and sunny. Very strong hatches of grannom from 11.30 onwards. Gabe fished sub surface with spider pattern grannom, and I fished dry dark olive. Surprisingly very sparse rise of trout throughout day
I induced takes from 2 reasonable trout of under a pound but both detached, first on dark olive, and second on March Brown upwing size 12.
Again, wind increased and temperature dropped rapidly from 4.
