Feedback & Reports

All fish caught on feeder and pellet or meat from Island, Boat and Legg Meadow Pools. Barbel to 7lb 12oz and Chubb to 5lb 8oz. A few very small juviniles of both species cought too.
Canoeists, swiming youths and inflatable unicorns encountered in some numbers by the island which proved challenging but the fish there in the strong flow, perhaps best fished early or late to avoid the crowd.
All fish in beautiful condition. Another great day's fishing - thanks WUF.

Very quiet - not a fish in sight.

No fish in sight - will come back when stocked

Cloudy but warm day, with fishing starting at approx 10am after a gentle walk of the beat.
Cracking location, very secluded, but with excellent river access. Water was low and clear, with lots of variety from fast channels and slower deep pools - some so deep they were unfishable.
DB had 2 early trout to a deep heavy tungsten nymph in slow water, followed by a 3rd in similar water further up the beat. SB then proceeded to catch a fingerling in similar water. Fishing moved up to the “gutter” pools, where DB hooked a great fighting trout of approx. 1.5lb (again on a heavy nymph).
Following a brief but well earned lunch, fishing moved to the lower section of the beat. SB took 2 trout in quick succession on a heavy nymph in a lovely mid-paced pool, and missed a snatch at the dry (fishing duo).
As the afternoon passed, DB took another good trout from the deep gutter water, with a token grayling turning up towards the end of the day to take a elk hair emerged pattern towards the top of the beat.
Overall a great days fishing - worth noting that this beat has plenty of water for low water fishing, but much of this may be inaccessible if levels rise...wading is almost exclusively bedrock and hard going even in shallow conditions.

7 Trout, 1 Grayling

fished most of the night with little action until about 1 in the morning when they started to become more active, had one swipe at a surface lure but none landed

Pretty dead all day then showed a bit of life around 19.00.
Caught both on spiders. - not large but at least it wasn't a blank day

1 Trout, 1 Grayling

Tough day with clear water and sky. 1 decent Chub first cast in the morning then 3 decent Chub and a Barbel in the last hour. 1 Eel and 1 Perch. Top peg by the weir pool needs some work as fallen tree badly affecting this nice peg.
