Feedback & Reports

First time on the beat apart for the noise of the A40, it's a great beat with a mixture of water to fish. A very windy and wet day, only two trout to the net with a handful getting away, all to nymph's.
Will definitely be back after taking a PB 17inch and one of 12inch.

Missed a couple of fish which I might have taken. However, the river still a little too high for most access
Not sure whether the tree clearing is a good or bad thing, time will tell

Beautiful beat. Accessible and easy wading.

Water was only slightly coloured and settling, after two or three days of heavy downpours. Arrived around 10.30, to find an unexpected) salmon angler on the Corner Pool. He left as soon as he saw me! One large salmon revealed itself in the Croy Pool . Brief hatch around 11am . Caught and released one WBT(1/2lb) on sparse, spider pattern.
Rose two others, one briefly hooked. Heavy rain and thunder set in about 3pm . Lovely day .

Enjoyable day despite limited success and some hefty downpours throughout the day. One fish caught on nymph fished clink and dink style on top section. Mix of flies coming off sporadically and we missed a few takes to dries but the fish didn’t really seem to be that interested - or perhaps that was down to our competence!

Contact nymphing and duo. Fish between 11” and 18”. Three other good fish slipped the hook.

Gradual hatch in middle of the day of a couple of types of up wing flies and small sedges, and a couple of fish rose irregularly just out of reach. Spiders in the riffles produced no interest at all. Two fish caught on nymph under and indicator.

Very difficult fishing. Admittedly the water was on the rise and coloured but access very difficult and definitely no double bank access with barbed wire fencing both sides of the river

7 takes between us bit none to the net- must go fishing more! Good weather until after 4 when the heavens opened. Lot of insect life including some Mayfly. Fish started rising about 2.00. Things are warming up!
