Feedback & Reports

A beautiful day for a walk in the country but not for flyfishing. I wouldn’t normally wet a line in these conditions but this is meant to be a fishing holiday, so on went the Factor 30. Miraculously, a few fish were seen rising in the shadier spots and three nice trout (14”,14”13”) were landed on comparadun and Klinkhamer. Shame that a faulty gearbox put paid to my friend’s outing.

Amazing stretch of river, with loads of wildlife and some fantastic trout habitat. Caught a perfect conditioned 14 inch trout, on the dry with a black gnat pattern. Hot, bright day and only saw two fish rising. Will definetly return.

Difficult conditions due to high temperatures and clear skies. 1 double figure carp landed. Another ejected the hook.

Plenty of fish milling around the far end of the lake. As well as along the island through the middle of the lake.

Blanked. Unlike the seal opposite ‘The Cockpit’ who had a Salmon in his mouth.

With brilliant sunshine to enjoy I knew it would be a difficult days fishing even sharing the beat with a couple of Salmon anglers. Started under the bridge Czech nymphing with 2.5mm jig hooked flies. Not a lot of action even with a good flow coming down. Fished right up to the head of the run and picked up a nice 8/10 inch trout sitting in the slack water. Moved up passed the hut to the Gutter & picked a nice grayling on a jig hook. Even had a go on the dry fly and missed two takes. Nice to be out on such a nice day and able to fish more of this beat.
