Feedback & Reports

Difficult day very few fish rising. a lovely quiet beat Access is an issue here that people should be aware of I took my ageing uncle and he could not access a large proportion of the river. There is no sign of the "ladders" and "hand rails" mentioned in the description of the beat.

Despite warm and humid conditions at Lyepole there was not much fly life and little evidence of rising fish, at least between 1 and 4pm when I was there. Several plucks on a weighted nymph but nothing to hand for me today.

fish taken mid morning from small deep pools on size 16 GRHE, including an impressive grayling of about 1lb. Trout of about 8 inches and ten inches. Upper reaches very pretty but only yielding salmon par.

Never been here before , great parking , and the scenery is delightful as ever , these are the beats I love to fish , rocky banks that taper off , and plenty of room to cast and set up , bank sticks might be a problem here , bring a pod or something,
Fishing was steady most of the day , but once evening set in it went up a notch , bites got more frequent and fish got bigger .
Fantastic day , lots of wildlife , didn't want to leave .

Many swims to pick from on this venue and easy access made for a pleasurable days fishing.
Barbel were caught on pellet on the deeper water on the inside. The river was quite low.
