Feedback & Reports

Weather great between 5 and 7pm with cold wind and rain after. I landed 4 very good trout on goldhead haresear, to 4.5 lb total, 3 on woodstrem run and one, the largest at 1.75lb at end of chine pool. John had 2 trout on a sunken olive pattern each half pound and lost two others of similar size.
Brilliant evening's fishing

Fished for an hour in the morning and a similar time in late evening only on the part of the beat adjacent to the caravan park. Did not observe a lot of fish activity although managed to hook and lose 3 smallish trout on small dry. A cold upstream wind was probably not helpful. Nevertheless it is a nice stretch and I look forward to fishing it again.

There was a sporadic hatch of mayfly like flies around 9pm with little response from the trout. The one undersized trout was caught on a Snipe and Purple fished down and across.

Another lovely day for trout.
Firstly, a correction that a catch return filed for this beat earlier should have been filed for 7th MAY not 7th April 2019.
If anyone reading this can correct the date on the report please do so as I have no idea how to do it, sorry Barry for the error.
Decided to fish morning rise as rain forecast later in day. Fished tail end of the Chine Pool above Wood stream with a gold bead haresear and landed a beauty at 11.30, a 2lb trout in top condition..
Went down Woodstream later and landed a fish of half pound on a mayfly nymph at the groin.
Had a few splashers on dry white wulff at the rock later before the rise subsided.
Lovely day.

Lovely day Water quite low

No fish caught. Wading was difficult as the water level was quite high, at least for us.

A lovely afternoon of trout fishing on this beautiful beat. The river quiet in the morning, but a few showing rising from lunchtime, and an intermittent rise of fish to a good hatch of Yellow Mays and Olives during the afternoon. Half a dozen lovely trout called on the dry-fly, including a beautiful fish of c. 18''.
