Great day in idyllic setting. All fish caught on various nymph patterns with gold bead being the favourite.

2 Trout, 4 Grayling

booked friday tea time with levels near perfect arrived saturday and river was up a foot and quite coloured . tried heavy nymphs , dries unweighted nymphs and the grayling were just not having it . i have fished here twice now and both times rain the night before has ruined what should be a productive day. third time lucky maybe

5 Grayling

Two decent Barbel, 7lb 5ozs and 8lb 1oz on pellets in Legg Meadow. Water level too high to try the wood section.

not much to shout about today had nothing in the bag never mind all to look forward to next time

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.
