Very mixed weather and only grayling caught mainly on nymphs in faster water. Have fished before and had much more success on dry flies in evening with lots of rises and trout. Surprised no trout caught and heard from local that some issues with river in last few years. Beautiful location and saw a few otters, but trout fishing nothing like a few years back. Maybe it was weather, otters or run-off or combo of all three. I hope this beat recovers as it is stunning and a great place to fish and look at nature.

Mixed weather - very windy with downpours followed by sunshine. Beautiful beat and all fish caught on nymphs mainly in fast water. Did not see a trout all day. In the past. had a wonderful evening rise with good sport for trout on dry flies. Apparently the local chicken farms are causing pollution and a local told me this has devastated the trout stocks. Such a shame as this was a wonderful place to fish. Not sure I will be back and one wonders what the EA are doing about it with all those angling fees?
