Feedback & Reports

River at a good level and water nice and clear, although wind pretty chilly for much of the day. Very few signs of a hatch although I did try mainly wets, just to mix things up after a winter of nymphing.
One nice grayling, caught in one of the deeper pools, certainly cheered me up. Probably more luck than judgement as I was lifting the nymphs to start moving to a new spot and, as ever, that movement upwards triggered a take.
Still no sign of a trout to start my season off but there is always next time.................

Very pleasing PB chub of over 6 pounds 4oz. A healthy fat fish. Fell to legered bread just off main flow.
One other chub of 4 pounds taken from a under near bank tree with a freelined breadflake.
Trotted maggots to no avail. I will definitely return in the summer.
It was nice to be greeted by Hugh, one of the farmers son who ponited out a couple of swims.

Fabulous days fishing with 2 chub caught. Lost a couple aswell but I didn’t really mind, it was just good to be there. Fish caught on feeder.

One NZ style nymphing and one on a small DHE at lunchtime when a short hatch took place (Olives of some kind? - too small for March Browns)

An awful lot of water, and a fair few club members a out having success Czech nymphing. We all blanked, and one of us dunked!

Fun day fishing the slacks
