Fantastic looking place. Wading could be a bit precarious at times. Saw a good number of March Browns and LDOs hatching but very few fish seen and none caught. Pleasant day cut short by some very unwelcome kayakers who knew very well that they were not supposed to be there.

Lovely beat with some excellent features. Lots of Olives and March Browns hatching off, we had a few offers to cdc emerger patterns and one excellent WBT of about 3/4 of a pound was taken on hares ear. Kayakers came through at around 3pm which ended our day rather earlier than expected.

River very low and gin clear. My walking, wading and clambering efforts were eventually rewarded with a WBT. The fish was taking advantage of a very brief hatch of pale watery duns and happily mistook my Adams dry fly for a real one.
Penpont isn't what it used to be as a beat in the day of the "Penpont Porkers" - which I hope referred to the fish and not the regular anglers! However, it's still a varied beat and as long as you don't pick school holidays you may be untroubled by the fast-growing holiday campsite at the farm that owns the beat.

A difficult day in bright, clear conditions, but there was the odd fish rising intermittently. I missed a couple on a Klinkhammer, but it hardly mattered on what is a very pretty beat.

Nice cloudy start , then blazing hot dog day......very bright and not much moving.

Had a lovely couple of hours fishing before breakfast. Moved a nice salmon about 15lb just above slaughter crib. No other salmon seen for the couple of hours I fished. Popped back out early evening for another hour or so. Salmon showed twice in slaughter pool as I arrived. Covered it with a spinner hooked & landed a small pike Couple of casts later hooked & landed a twaite shad of around 2lb. Couldn't find the salmon. Will be back again on this stunning beat & hopefully fish for the whole day.
