Feedback & Reports

Fished up from parking by bridge for a couple of hours. Cows in the river meant I had to start above them and missed a couple of previously quite productive pools. River had a good flow and a sporadic hatch. I tried several patterns but all three fish caught to dry blue winged olive with two out of three at 10". I was involved in clearing this stream over the winter and in parts I wondered if we could have been a bit more thorough!

A couple of happy hours on this brook. A hot late sunny afternoon/evening with lots of midge activity. A few fish rising in the pools. One missed strike after an hour and a lovely 9 inch wild brown trout on something small and dry (sorry not knowledgeable to know what) completed the visit.

Started fishing early morning and finished after couple hours. No visible fish rises, no catches, water level low and basicly really small river more likely had a walk.

The river was low and clear, and with bright sun and little wind it was going to be a tricky day.
There was a good mix of hatching insects. Black knat was prolific, the fish didnt seems to be on anything specific. I missed fish on most flies that i tried. A 16 grey emerger was take with confidence by the three fish that i had.
It was very much a day for concidered casting rather than just covering water.
As every a stunning place to fish

lovely few hours with trout rising between 11a.m and 2p.m to midges and the odd olive. not a huge amount of rises but enough to stay on dry size 20 f-fly. did not fish the upper section above bridge as the sun was overhead and pretty much killed the sport.
