Feedback & Reports

This is a fantastic spot and I really enjoyed fishing here. No pressure or traffic of any kind. Had at least 10 takes off the dry fly through out the day, Purple Haze worked particularly well for that as well as the parachute adams. Would have been even more fun if I were quicker to set the hook. Also one on the gold head pheasant tail nymph. Both netted fish were WBT. Can't wait to return.

River running high making wading difficult. No takes in this short session this time unfortunately.

Spent a short lunch break on the Tarrell. River rising rapidly with torrential rain. This seemed to get the fish into a feeding mood - 2 x 9 inchers in quick succession, a bigger fish bumped then a magnificent specimen of 18 inches, in prime condition. All fell to a 2.5mm jig nymph fished duo style.

N.B If you are unfamiliar with this river, do not attempt fish it in heavy rain - it can become extremely dangerous within minutes.

Coloured river, nothing caught.

Today was our third day on this beat and again we caught nothing at all. Fished with klinkhamer flies size 18, Adams size 16 and Pheasant tail nimf size 16. No rises, no takes, no fish. Very disappointing again...

Very stormy day. Didn't spend long fishing.

Very disappointed. Weed one end, no chance for fishing I can't hold the lead for two minutes, that weed catch my line straight, hundreds of kg. 25 £ pay for nothing.

Coloured river cleared at a steady height (0.7) throughout the day. Looked great from about 5pm - Fish was caught in the Upper Rocks at the top of the beat on a Willie Gunn variant. Returned strong. Estimated 10lb - coloured hen fish covered in lice - assume it had coloured in the estuary?
(WUF note possibly Argulus - river lice?)

River was dropping but still holding colour.
