Feedback & Reports

Had to work hard for my fish, despite apparently good water conditions and rising temperatures. Using nymphs (except for an interlude trying to tempt 2 or 3 rising fish with a dry fly around lunchtime) I caught one early on. Then nothing until I hooked a much bigger one about 3.30pm, which after 3 or 4 minutes of lively fight dived behind a rock just upstream of me, and shed the hook.

Tough day. No fish rising. Concentrated on faster water flows with weighted nymphs. One 16 inch fish to the net. Two others lost.

A lovely spot for a few hours fishing. 3 small WBT caught on nymphs in a deep pool close the the bridge at the start of the beat, I also lost a large fish in this pool. The section from the Bridge to the Weir is faster running with riffles and pools, thereafter the rest of the beat is slower and meandering, with reasonable access. There were a few small may flies coming off the stream including Iron Blues, also spotted a few Hawthorne flies, but unfortunately no fish rising.

The beat sits within a farm and Nick the farmer was friendly and very helpful, good access for parking behind the Mill. There's currently an electric fence along a section of the beat, easy to get under and around.
