2 Trout

A good sized clean looking fish lost from the orchard nothing else seen apart from a few trout and a couple of otters. Beautiful morning to be on the river.

A bright day, a little muggy as if a storm was coming. Fished the south side which was in the Lee of a fairly strong wind. Very few fish showing, just an occasional rise. One rainbow of 1 1/2 lb caught on a 20g black and gold Toby.

fished from 10am till 3.30pm french nymphing. all trout taking aqua baetis nymph with 3mm bead and all grayling taking gammarus on dropper. trout were all between 7-12 inches and grayling between 8-19 inches . maybe the pollution incident has damaged the trout population more than the grayling? though there seemed far less of the bigger grayling also with only five of the grayling caught around the 18 inch mark. all the same lets hope this beat over the next few years gets back to what it can produce

12 Trout, 11 Grayling

4 x trout 9-12 inches, spiders

Sunny warm day, so I decided to use Dry fly all day. good hatch around 11am and late afternoon as well. 8 grayling, and 6 brown trout. Most of the fishes were around 2 pounds, with couple of grayling definitely over. Great day, and lovely beat.

6 Trout, 8 Grayling

River high (1.6m at redbrook) and still coloured so left the fly rod and waders in the car. Covered all the water between little run and cockpit with the spinner over 6 hours but nothing doing. Saw one fish head and tail on the far side in hudsons but not much else - they're running straight through. Will try again another day

Not many fish rising but we still manage 8 and lost around 5 as well as 1 small perch. They were taking a mix of lure black and white and also a few on hares ear and pheasants tail nymphs. Fished until 3 and bites were throughout the day

8 Trout

Apologies, there was an error in my on line booking such that this beat was booked inadvertently for April instead of June. I do hope that I didn't deprive someone else of the opportunity to fish due to my error. Kindest regards

One 4 lb carp caught by Wayne. Lots of fish moving but not biting.
