Feedback & Reports

River was still quite high and banks slippery. Fished a morning and a late afternoon session in two different swims. They were probably the only two swims that I could safely fish from and it was a good job I had a 3m landing net pole otherwise I would have struggled to land anything safely. Enjoyed the fishing finding the fish came in bursts. Good Size Chub and Barbel
in the 2 to 6lb category. Take care on the banks on this stretch, particularly when the level is dropping.

Lovely looking beat

Fished a duo between 10am and 3pm, but to no avail save for 1 small 5” salmon parr on the black magic nymph

Saw only a couple of small fish rising despite a hatch of blue winged olives between 12 and 3pm

A disappointing and slow day. River dropping quickly. Most fish caught on meat.

Had a good day fishing but unfortunately fish not biting

The wind had verred to a southerly, and the water was a good level & very clear. Fished from 2.45 and saw nothing until about 7pm. Then hooked two and caught one of about 2lbs, all on a nymph near the tail of broken water runs.

Fished all pools on beat. Fished the rock pool without a touch, had a cup of tea and a change of fly and wow it worked a fish of 13lb'ish.

1 Salmon

Fished the meadow. Very overgrown nowadays with what looks like Himalayan balsam, and brambles.

Had 3 fish on but lost all. Caught one on nymph, one on buzzer, one on blob.

One of was spinning and had a couple of tugs but no good.

A lot of dead perch around today?

Also why are so many people allowed to light fires? Ive only been here a few times but every time there are multiple people camping over night and lighting fires, some of which are way too big seeing as there is so much forestry around. And some bins would make a welcome addition to help the mess.

Love the area, stunning place.

Weather was again good but water still cold and high from previous rain. Some olives seen throughout the day but very few rises . Unexpected extra angler (guest of owner) arrived earlier than we did and went through some of the good pools catching a few on dries. Most of our fish caught on nymphs but one on a sedge in rougher water.

Fishing Passport Note : Booking Office error that the additional angler was present.
