Feedback & Reports

A good day's fishing, the river was clear. Most fish came in the last hour of light on the run in to sewage pool, P-T Nymph on point and Invitica on the dropper casting to rising fish which were feeding on insects fallen from the bushes. Cast tight to bushes, had 5 and lost 4 from 9pm to 10.30pm all around 3/4lb. Fantasic sport. Sun with cloud for most of the day. The other fish came from a team of 3 wets flies throught the beat.

Booked this, a favoured beat, for an easier ride after the Clettwr yesterday. Arrived to find a thirsty stream, I would say you could have walked between the the banks in your slippers all the way to the "no fishing" section before changing into your Wellies ! One 10in wbt to a Griffiths gnat, now affectionately known between the shared rod as the "G Gnat" for its success on the streams.

I had a couple of spare hours this morning. In spite of the river being on it's bones and hardly any flow there were a few risers to be seen. Managed two trout, one of which was 10 inches. Both took a Kite's Imperial which is a reliable early season fly on this beat. The fish were taken in identical locations, just as the shallow run entered the neck of the pool.

Tough conditions with gin clear water and a down stream beeze, managed 6 trout to 1lb. Lots of fish sipping insect off the top in the slack pools but scatter as soon as you cast to them.

What a fantastic piece of water, and a fantastic days fishing. Whilst the fish were very scarce, the sheer beauty of the river and surroundings made up for it! All fish were taken on nymphs, most success with a Hares Ear.
Wading is tricky at the start of the beat, but gets easier towards the top. Thank you WUF for the recommendation.

Fished for around three hours from 6pm no fly on the water and a cold wind for the time of year . Bumped into a mate who'd had five so maybe i was off pace a bit

Fished from 16.00 to 19.00. Nice weather, cloudy and sunny. Began at bottom of beat with usual para-adams. Lots of rises from tiny trout, 5 caught, 3/4 ins. ( not included in return). Noticed a few mayfly so put on a medium sized (14) grey wolf. ImmedIate effect as I got to the slightly slower pools about 200 yards up the beat. Missed several good fish but caught two x 10 ins and one lovely fish at 14 ins. Finished just beyond the end of the first field.

One 1lb grayling caught in the second pool up from craig lynn. Caught on damsel fly. Difficult wading.
