Feedback & Reports

Nothing caught but some very good tugs and one got off the hook before I could get the net out. Spider patterns with a nymph on the end. Water slightly coloured, beautiful spring day. Mink spotted on the bank.

Lovely stretch of river and awesome surroundings, used a 7ft rod but would be better with a 6ft, a good hatch of March brown (Mayfly) I only fished 400yds but will be back again soon. Tight Lines all ☺️

Only one take on a beaded spider. Water very clear.
No surface activity, not one rise seen all day.
Some clearing of overhanging trees would be good.
Temp over 20 and sunny.
0.289 on the gauge and falling.

An unusually warm spring day to be on the water. It was good to see that this stretch had been treated to a haircut with some serious tree removal. I think this will be of benefit in the long run. Also noticeable was the tree replanting scheme in operation.
The water had a strong flow and was still noticeably cold which probably accounted for the lake of fly life and trout activity.
I took a large grayling early on which was tempted by a small beaded GRHE, in the deeper water. My fishing buddy also took 2 grayling , both on nymphs.
Hard going today but absolutely wonderful to be out after the latest period of confinement.
I saw a shoal of small eels or lampreys on the shallows, which was encouraging for the health of the river.
