Feedback & Reports

What a fantastic place to spend Sunday. Went mountain climbing with the tenkara rod. 2 trout 6-8ins and better one missed. All on the dry fly, a small caddis pattern.
Will be going back soon, once my legs have recovered!

Unfortunately another nil return - there was very little activity all day from fish or insect, although I did spot what I think was a solitary Yellow May dun. There is lovely water toward the top of the beat, where to my surprise I lost a fish on a Prince Nymph put on in desperation at the end of the day. The lower end of the beat also has good water, although the banks require a lot of clearing. A great day.

A lovely days fishing on a challenging little stream. Water was low but clear, a few rising early on, one beauty succumbed to a royal wulf the rest all on grhe nymphs. A total of 9 wbt ranging from 4" -9" and quite a few missed. All in lovely condition.

A lovely little wild stream but sadly very low water levels due to the warm weather conditions and no rain. Only tiny sections of streamy water and then mainly deep sluggish pools with no flow so impossible for nymphing as they could hear the drop of the fly immediately and no rises. Only fished for half the day. It would be delightful in different conditions and a little bit of cutting back on the beat would make a huge difference to access and casting.
Many thanks. Gilly Bate

Before even casting a fly, I knew that the two days booked where going to be a complete waste of time.
If there were salmon present, it was hopeless with so many visitors swimming, plus dogs and children in all sections of what could have been a fabulous piece of water. Canoeists were also present the whole day and it was laughable that it was offered for a day of fishing.
Not impressed and I won't return.

WUF Note: The top half of this beat does get busy during peak tourist season, and in this unfortunate circumstance meant it wasn't fishable. We have amended our notes to help inform anglers of this to prevent a situation like this reoccurring in the future.

Little sign of fly or rise. Basically a children day
