A beautiful stretch of water. I fished downstream wet fly/spiders in riffles and dry fly / nymph over the glides. The river is low, very few LDO coming off - no rises or trout seen. None caught, but will come back!

Lovely venue. No sign of any trout moving about or feeding. Caught a grayling of about 1 pound.

1 Grayling

River low and clear. Overcast, no wind. A few olives from around 11am and a few trout showing at 1 30pm. Caught two good fish in a fast run close to the bank on drys in the morning.

Great day , no fish!. Lots of flood damage on the upper part of this beat, but still accessible . A small hatch mid day but very few fish rising.

A bit cold and overcast but river in good condition. Not much happening, one hatch all day and nothing rising. Tried various methods but alas no fish. Nice beat and easy parking. Have booked again for later this week so will see what happens.

Was in the water for 11.30 and not a touch for an hour then for 3 hours was some quality nymphing. All fish taken in pacey water with trout to 14 inches and grayling to a huge 18+ inches which has given me a p.b. Most of the grayling caught were big 14-16 inches but this one fish was a belter. All fish today were released safely and had to remove a barbed hook from one of the grayling.
Nothing rising to the ldo's that were trickling off during the outbreaks of sunshine.All taking 3mm black tungsten beaded olive nymph size 14. Also a small flurry of grannoms but not many.

A disappointing day really... there was a very brief hatch of olives about midday and some trout appeared, but after 5 minutes it was over for the rest of the day. Roll on Spring..!

Would be helpful if a gillie was present to show the pools, wading line, and main lies.
On booking I understood a gillie would be their just to show the pools. Quite a difficult water to read when high, and you'v never fished it before. Also no other fishers to ask.
On the booking page I understood a gillie was present, not so, this comes at extra cost, I think this should be made clear. I fished the Monday alone, and on Tuesday with 2 lads, they also had same problem, and told me they were told a gillie would pop down to show us the beat.
WUF Note: Goodrich Court's gillie is quite often present at the fishery but is not guaranteed to be there every day. Both the website and details received once a booking is made state that anglers either have to call the Foundation or the gillie himself to ensure that he is on hand to give advice and guidance.

Partially sunny, no wind, river low and clear. Trickle of olives from mid-morning, slightly bigger hatch at around 2pm and some trout showing then. Caught 1 on dry fly then, and one earlier on a nymph.
