1/2 pound brown trout caught on a duo rig, small hair and copper nymph in fast water just upstream from the hut. Returned alive. Coolish weather. Few risers. Fished up to the gravel pool with a nymphing setup with no luck.

Lovely afternoon. Instructions on fining the parking space were spot on!

A quieter day for Fownhope.
A new 'tackle losing' snag at the lucky stone. Felt like rock rather than weed. Best barbel just under 8lb to meat.
The other were two eels, the one at 3lbs

Pleasant stretch of river but rather energetic to access a lot of it and sometimes even harder to get back out of the river!
Not much sign of rising fish most of the day, those that were invariably on the far side of the river in an inaccessible spot. Caught 2 small (10-12”) in last half hour when I was already late to get back for dinner. Fantastic bird life all day and so many insects it’s a wonder the fish weren’t on the surface all day.
The fishing hut that is mentioned in the booking info, a total joke I wouldn’t have gone inside to save my life it smelt like something died in there. No door, no window couldn’t see what was in the far end and didn’t fancy venturing in. No problem when your car is on the bank though, that is very civilised having such easy access to the bank.
