Feedback & Reports

A really tough day with conditions far from ideal, the river was running high and was very discoloured following some heavy rain, making fishing tricky. I couldn't tempt anything with nymphs or streamers in the deeper pools but fished the shallower ripples towards the end of the session and had two fish take my nymph, with the larger fish spitting the hook during a mighty leap and the second fish of about half a pound graciously coming to the net (and returned safely to fight another day). Thanks to Barry for taking the time to talk to me on the phone and for passing on his recommendations. A beautiful beat and I will be back to fish it again in hopefully better conditions.

Pleasant afternoon . Water .41m and clear.
A few fish moving so elected to fush dry using 12 size dark olive and landed one lovely trout frim head of rockpool.to 1.25 lb
My colleague fished woodstream with a plain haresear and caught 2 chub ofaround half pound.
.
While high on the bank at Rockpool saw a shoal of 6 chub to 2lb foraging the shallows and one larger specimen in the deeper water..
Also treated to a close encounter with a stoat who eyeballed me and sho off!!
Brilliant

Great evening. Access is getting a little tricky in the downstream section due to vegetation, but is possible. Plenty of fish feeding on midge in warm/calm conditions.

2 of us fishing evening permits. Only one of us (not me) had the skills for the midge-feeders. But a beautiful beat and loads of fish moving.

Same deal as the day before, I fished a little earlier today though, had around 5 takes and caught 2. Both around the same length 12-13”. Lovely evening, trout we rising all over. Both released immediately after a quick photo.

Trout caught on a dry fly size 16. I used light-beige colored flies. River was slightly tinged with runoff. Plenty of trout starting to rise once the bug hatches begin around 7-8pm. Beautiful location with easy access and camping nearby. Bummed the pub was under renovation but hopefully I’ll be back in the future to experience it at a later time! Big thanks to the property owner for making this type of experience possible for a guy like me coming from America to the UK for the first time. Absolutely loved it!

Enjoyed a couple of hours fishing in the evening, working up the river from the bridge. No interest in nymphs or wets, so tried the dry fly above the riffles at the top. Plenty of takes but nothing landed...broken off by 1 trout, most were taking very tentatively and difficult to hook. Very good dry water at the top with plenty of fish about. You do need to wade but its an interesting little beat. Many thanks to owner Barry for being so hospitable and sharing his knowledge of the beat with me.
