Feedback & Reports

I Start fishing early ,river in nice condition and clearing a fish show below the bridge and I covered with the fly with but not interested,fished upper rocks and on my way down I had a good pull but unfortunately the line come loose ,around 11:15 river start rise with a bit more colour.Barry the owner it was very helpful

This was my first visit to the Hindwell. It a very pleasant little stream. Weather warm and overcast .River level was pretty fair considering neighbouring beats were very low. Started at the lower end of the beat which was a mixture of depths and widths although reasonably accessible in most parts. A couple of trout came to a dry pheasant tail having seen them rising. After that there was a lack of surface activity so switched to #16 lightly weighted Killer bug. Took 6 more trout and then one final one to a dry pattern having seen it rise as well. After lunch progressed to the upper half of the beat. What a difference!
I walked up around half a mile and found very little water that was fishable due to excessive tree growth and overhanging vegetation. No further fish caught here as I only fished a couple of areas. I would suggest a visit by the WUF clearing team would remedy this as it effectively means that over half the fishing is inaccessible which is a great pity. Nevertheless it was a fun day on a new beat.

This is lovely piece of water but sadly water levels were too high to have any chance. Tried in vain for an hour but called it a day and headed home. My season seems to have been blighted by too much or too little water! Will definitely return here next season, looks a fine beat.

Beautiful beat fairly easy access bit of a slog under foot when wet as it was but worth it.

Abundance of wildlife to watch. River was up with some colour looked spot on but was a struggle during the day, all fish taken in the last few hours of daylight on pellet feeder tactics.

Plenty of anglers on the opposite bank all good apart from one who decided to fish near enough directly opposite me.

Fished several swims during the day some more productive than others.
