Feedback & Reports

Well after a long old week of early shifts, getting up at sparrows fart , thought I'd carry on the motion , got up early bells this morning , at four , give the pooch a good walk around , feed all the animals , thenheadeed down to the Edw for a few hours. , as hot later so go while it's coolish !!!

Turned up at the bridge at ten to six , lovely morning , muggy , sun not burning through yet , so spot on , got going with a small Para Greenwells , on my usual six foot two weight rig , quietly does it as some fish fishing in first pool , always is here !!!! Careful cast had him on , Great start , nice fish of about eight inches , really good run around in the clear water .The Edw is at normal height now , but lovely and clear . . . . . Worked my way up , fishing the Greenwells , and tiny klinkhammers , also small sedge patterns too , missing quite a few initially , as the small brownies are so quick , but honed in after three missed fish !!!! Then things got going on the sport side of things , superb fun , managed three quarters of the beat this morning , fish ranged from top four to twelve inches . Had three clonkers in the tally too , lovely fish , and you got to respect such gorgeous brownies from such a stream as this .

Sixteen trout this morning , may have been more , not sure , but Great sport and called it a day at half ten , as had a few chores I wanted to get sorted in the garden , nice to see the kingfisher busy today , and the buzzards calling up height on the thermals , shall head to this cracker again very soon , now where too early bells tomorrow morning . . . . Mmmmm I wonder !!!!!!!

There are very few fishable pegs on the upper stretch - steep banks, overgrown and no access to the water

Fished from 9am till 8pm , today was an absolute scorcher! We took refuge in the shade for most of the day , didn’t fish as hard as we could but netted a few throughout the day .
This beat always provides a good days fishing ,

Arrived to find the river still showing a tinge of colour but the warm bright conditions proved difficult. BP managed to winkle out a pristine Chub of approx. 2 ½ lb but despite best efforts with various pellets, meat and corn, this was to be the only success of the day. Overall, a tough day when the river reminded us who is boss. Still a great day to be on the bank. Numerous large Salmon jumping clear of the water throughout the day, with hundreds of Damselflies keeping us company. Surprisingly few canoes, most of whom were courteous and polite.

1 Chub

Caught 9 trout. Fished with guide Chris Price. Good guide and good company. The path on the river bank can do with a trimming, because it was completely over grown.

Not as prolific as expected for this beat fishing 5pm til dusk. Usual pellet and feeder tactics.

Hot and sultry day with few fish moving. Caught four smallish trout on nymphs and lost a better fish. Had one offer to a dry fly. Came off at 19.30 as wind picked up .
