Feedback & Reports

Unfavourable conditions (weather – windy and showers, river – low and cold, no rising fish, fly life limited) made for a challenging day notwithstanding some of the wading however we made the most of the fabulous surroundings and the varied pools. We will be back. No catch to report.

Fished this beat 2 weeks ago upstream of whats left of the bridge so decided to fish from the bottom of the beat up to the bridge this time, not much in the way of rising fish so i fished a small bead head nymph tied on a barbless jig hook underneath a klinkhammer. This resulted in 14 trout up to 10 inches and 1 Grayling that looked well over the pound all on the nymph, I must have missed all lost as many, fantastic sport on my new 6ft fibreglass rod. There is plenty of water to fish and quite a few deep pools. There were a couple of tree that had fallen across the river but i did not have much of a problem getting around them.

14 Trout, 1 Grayling

Lost a pike on a salmon fly at the margins

Great beat, but fish not really rising, and couldn't find what they wanted.

No catch to report. It was a bit cold, so the fish weren't 'on'.

River level very low and windy, which made it difficult fishing. Most fish taken on french leader. 5 grayling over 2lbs largest 2 1/2lbs biggest. Some taken on dries in the afternoon once the wind calmed down.

3 Trout, 11 Grayling

Dramatic weather but some good fishing eventually.

Very hard fishing up there, we fished all day and only had one fish each in 3 different locations.
