Feedback & Reports

All 4 of us blanked today, although plenty of fish showing.

Very rusty performance I’m afraid. Scenic and beautiful beat, I briefly connected with 3 including one big lump but totally failed to keep my end of the fishing bargain. Very clear, mostly shallow and I found it hard to get on the fish. Slipped and wallowed on my back in 6” of water - I could hear the trout laughing. Very much a bushwhack in places at present. Friendly farmer, kingfisher action galore. A beat for the more physically fit angler perhaps?

We fished after de rain from 18-22 between quarrypool en junction pool. Each of us catched 1 trout and each hooked but lost another 3-4. Instects: red spent mediim, pond olive spent, small dark olive spent. Hardly any sedges, some mayfly late dusk.
Best flies: once&Away cdc emergers no 18 pale yellow with pkume cdc, klinkhammer nr 14-16, red spent, pale yellow spent.
Nice beautiful beat. Mind there is a awkward piece of iron just beside de fence from quary pool upstream. Its a wader killer.

5#~6# line and rod with an olive green nymph.
( sorry I was 6 days early, but I was set up for trout).

2 other rods were first time fly fishers ( years as course fishermen ) well and truly converted . Loved it and are now “hooked”

Lovely stretch of water.
Conditions : mostly bright sunny conditions, but thankfully overcast at times.
: water clear.

Definitely use you again, booking was easy with a very friendly member of staff.

Thank you

Lovely piece of water. Very low but this does help move around the river easier. 6 fish in total, big shoal of barbel watched for a while up at the very top.of the beat. Double figure fish.
A beat to return to.
