Feedback & Reports

All fish caught in bottom half of the beat. 3 trout and a grayling caught on dry fly, Jingler, during 40 min hatch. The rest caught on nymph. This beat never disappoints. Some build up of algae in the slack margins. Thanks WUF.

9 Trout, 2 Grayling

River levels much better. Caught tail end of a hatch with a few rises and again no takers on nymph or dries. Worked upstream from Lower end of beat to the Penpont estate. We gave it our all but again another fruitless day. Shame.

Not a bad day temp wise but raining most of the morning, caught a nice Grayling and trout under the waterfall below the fishing cabin. Just after mid day I noticed huge bubbles forming downstream of the fall, seemed strange normally it forms foam and not big bubbles?

Fished from Island Run to the Flats and from Mill race to Neck of Rectory. Nothing seen. Despite the rain showers, it was a lovely day. The water was "gin" clear, all that was missing was the elusive salmon!

My guest (my son) had a mixed day! He caught a trout, but his waders (my old ones) leaked like a sieve. It rather limited his (and then my) day.

Overcast mild day with light upstream wind. Heavy rain the night before. Started with dries at noon.
Conditions looked good but by 1pm only the odd fish had risen and very few olives coming off. I managed to take 1 trout on a dry.
Decided to try a nymph but had no interest after about an hour.
The temperature was rising and the odd fish rose so went back on a dry. Had a few refusals and after several fly changes got a hook up, sadly it came off. After a few more refusals and no more signs of fish I called it a day at about 3pm.
An interesting and somewhat frustrating day.
