Water was low, sun was high, had a great adventure, but no fish, A single take all day!

I fished the Dore and the Escley in one day. It was lovely to be out with the fly rod but fishing conditions were, hot weather, low water, consequently no fish. A great pleasure to be out, all the same.

Fishing pheasant tail on the bottom. Beautiful beat but completely overrun by swimmers and bathers in high summer months..

Very hot. No fish. Beautiful beat though if you can handle the canoes once in a while. Many exit at Whitney bridge which is the start of the beat. If possible I would recommend canoeing the beat if fly fishing as can get to the better waters far easier. There are still parts you can get to from the bank and climb down. Some really good faster, whiter water and ideal for trout. Had a lovely brown last year.

The 'others' were dace. All fish taken on dry flies. Also was lucky enough to watch a good sized Salmon swimming around one of the pools.
It’s got to be one of the nicest beats I have fished and will definitely be back .

Hardest day we’ve had on this beat, river low, bright sunshine and searing heat.

Very Hot, fished for a couple of hours before the thought of a cold beer got the better of me.
