Feedback & Reports

8 x trout 9-14 inches, Duck's Dun Baetis. Mostly 10 inch fish. A dull day, 5 to 11 degrees, with an increasing chilly wind. Nothing much hatching or rising during the morning, although I was slightly surprised to come across a solitary turkey brown. Olives did begin to hatch and some fish reacted to them after lunch.

First visit to this brook. On Arrival I was surprised by two things. The amount of boar activity and also how private and secluded the beat feels even though there is a footpath alongside it.

Fished the duo for the whole session but strangely the fish would only touch a pheasant tail nymph over a hares ear. As midday approached takes moved from the nymph to the dry. Most likely lies held at least one trout to the hook and some even more. The water was clear enough in places that trout could be stalked too.

Only the occasional rise was seen as a trickle of small olives hatched in the warmer spells of the day.

Should've had at least double this number of trout but these fish hit hard and fast and fight all the same. A few better fish over powered my two weight set up and found the trees roots before I could impose control over the fight. A brilliant stretch I can't wait to visit again!

Another cold start of the day. No flies seen, so forced to fish with long leader, an heavy nymph on the point and a selection of spiders. All fishes taken on the a small grey spider, size 14. Best fish, a pretty healthy BT around 2 pounds, safely released
