Feedback & Reports

3 of us fishing on the A470 side at the 2nd car park. Caught 1 straight away on a worm on a ledger, 1 on a green and gold spinner mid day, and the 3rd last going off on the bubble float. 2 lbs each. Saw a lovely golden trout swimming past us in the shallow but couldn't get our rods to it in time. Saw the bailiffs making regular visits to the res which was great, making sure all have paid and are using legal bait.

Me and young son spent about 3 hours fishing just the very first part of beat,found it hard to progress with my 9 year old son under the railway bridge where there is a fallen tree. A Local told me the trout farm had been shut down for ages but not sure about this as there are still people,a car, and what looks like offices there behind the gate. Caught a lovely 13 inch brownie,one at 9inch and an eleven inch rainbow,our record before today was an eight inch brook trout so chuffed to bits. We drove past the fish farm before leaving and there was a layby next to a wide open field up past the Weir with easy access to river,will be back, awesome thanks.

Great hatches during and after rain showers. Caught plenty of well sized Browns on May fly sized dry flies.

this was unfishable today and not just because of the rain. on the south bank there are about 3 areas to fish but along the camp site and the other side of the bridge there just isn't anywhere to fish if the river is too high to wade as it was today. beyond the bridge there are no places to access the river as it is too overgrown with even a trapped sheep unable to get back up (we told the farmer). very disappointing stretch which could do with a new description on the website.

Bad weather ruined great fishing.

We only managed to stay out on the river for a couple of hours today as the rain was freezing cold and persistent.

That said, the trout were obliging and plenty were caught in that short time.

Beautiful stream and you really feel like you are getting away from it all.

Most fish were caught in deeper (some times only a few inches) channels in rapids.

One slightly larger (10 inch) trout , caught in a pool, put up a fight worthy of a fish three times its size.

We had booked both rods on this beat, but did see someone else fly fishing, who quickly disappeared when he spotted us.
