Feedback & Reports

A wonderful afternoon on a great section of the river. Despite the low flow level there were a few pools holding trout. we spent much of the afternoon in the shade doing very little and I imagine that any sensible trout would be doing the same. There were plenty of olives coming off all day and fish started to rise later in what was a glorious evening. 3 trout of about 1lb caught on olive spinner patterns.

6.30-10.30pm. Tough going for most of the night, the fish were feeding but showed only a sporadic interest in my offerings (one decent fish snapped my 6x leader, thereafter I upgunned to 5x). Really diverse hatch, so struggled to pin down exactly what they were feeding on.

Then from 9.45-10.15, they seemed to abandon caution and feed hard on the larger upswings. A para Adams then took two in quick succession, including a brute of 19+inches.

Didn't fish, river chocolate brown

Unbelievably hot evening, river worryingly low, I was delighted to rise anything at all and consider 4 little uns a good result under the circumstances. Couldn't find access via field to left of pub, ended up using the bridge a little downstream. The pint afterwards in The Trout Inn was the most refreshing I've had for many a month....
