Fishing was a little slow in the morning, couple bites on and of then around noon time it was great, caught around 11 altogether, kept 4 and released the others, not very big fish, around 1 to 1 1/2 lb , but put a nice fight.I’ve been using spinners , mostly Mepps or Savage Gear.

A good hatch of olives in the middle of the day produced a couple of fish, a couple of good looking fighters. The weather was partial cloud with sunny, warm spells

After a couple of hours on the upper beat and a sandwich and cup of coffee while watching a couple of range tip butterflies feeding I decided on trying the lower Longtown beat. I’m glad I did.
There was another good hatch of fly at about 5.30. I lost a small fish and then managed to get into a bit underneath some trees for the best fish of the day.
There were a few mayflies in evidence.

This was the first time fishing here. Fished on the fly but it was difficult to cast in part due to the wind and also due in many places to trees. Much of the banks are either inaccessible or to steep for fishing especially on the road side. On the opposite bank it is better for casting but hard work due to large areas being water over sedge and grass. The water was crystal clear and I only saw one fish moving. I caught 2 very small trout on a wet fly . I would not fish it again as the fish seemed far and few between and a local said the fishing is poor now. When I booked I.was surprised at the cost which I think is expensive

Small brown trout, largest 9 inches. River appears healthy with none of the green slime seen elsewhere. Abundant fly life. Jungle fishing with bow and arrow casting frequently required.
