Feedback & Reports

First time out for me this year, and surprisingly not a blank.
The brook was running well but did appear a little coloured.
I started on the nymphs but at the second or third bend I saw a fish rise, a quick change to a rusty klinkhammer resulted in my first of the season.
I continued on the dry for a while losing one and missing one, before switching to a GHRE and catching three more trout one of which was close to 12 inches.
I had one more on the dry later on before heading home, overall a very enjoyable trip.

Fished from around 12:00 until 16:00 with two fish caught, one WBT around 15" in length and another around 12" in length, both on olive emergers.

2x wbt, perhaps both anglers were a little sharper today but still managed to miss and prick many of the snappy rises.

Lovely spring day for trout, water .56m and temp 16 deg C . Water temp not as cold as last week.
Decided on wood stream with a gold bead hares ear and hooked a large trout just off the groin again.
Led me quite a dance on 3lb line but managed to land it after 10 minutes. Fish just under 2lb and in excellent condition.

Saw one or two mayfly and yellow may dun and there was more activity on top than last week, mainly due to a better water temperature I imagine.
Had to leave at 3.30 having tried a few dry flies at the occasional rise with no success

1 Trout

Three descent browns on dry flies all taken in the morning, the sun came out at lunchtime so things slowed up a great deal from then on ..

3 Trout

No joy,river is good condition, dropping nicely with better much perfect clarity but nothing touched or seen.

Three canoeist got in just above me, and explained to them that they should be there, river well below the red line. They pleaded ignorance as usual. Even after I showed them online the rules and asked them to get out , they admitted I was correct but carried on regardless. If I ever go to prison it is because I murdered a canoeist!
