Feedback & Reports

Bait used just worm. 6 fish caught 3 returned. Downfall of the day was the amount of litter and old tackle on the floor. Also the amount of hooks left in the fish after being returned. On one occasion I removed 3 hooks from a single fish before I returned it. On the plus side a lovely venue.

Fantastic piece of river - had a great day plus as a bonus one fish felt sympathy for me and he went back happy. I am very new to this game - I watched and matched the hatch as it swarmed across the river but nothing was hungry. Not a single rise. I understand someone caught 12 from here the day before so maybe they were still suffering swollen lips.

Fine sunny day with light breeze. Plenty of fish on the rise but unable to work out what they were feeding on. Two 2.5 lb rainbows caught on black viva. One scarred by what must have been a cormorant bill. An enjoyable days fishing only marred by the loud foul language used by a group of young people on a canoeing experience from a local outdoor centre.

Had a few hours nyphing the faster water and picked up 15 trout with several slipping the hook, after two hours the river was very coloured which pretty much put the fish down. Walked the rest of the beat trying my luck but to no avail. First time on this beat and it is a very nice stretch of water . An eight foot rod coped easily.

lovely day perfect conditions, lot of mayfly hatching but caught all fish on size 14 CDC emerger, most quite small with 3 or 4 really nice fish in the one to two pound bracket, amazing fly life

Well over 30 fish from 4-14 inches. 3 fish weighing in at over a lb, one particular fatty pushing 1lb 12oz. fish from all the likely spots on size 16 tungstens and dry may flies after about 2 o clock, hitting the flies hard in the runs and in the pools, they really lost their inhibition. two tree falls in quick succession in the middle of the beat have ruined two pools but it can't really be much better than it was!

A bright day, low and clear, with not many fish moving but persisted with the dry to the odd fish rising. Wasn't helped by 5 Canadian canoes paddling down stream from the top bridge when I arrived midday ish. Then dogs swimming at about 6 after which I gave up and went home! It's a nice beat but think the signage maybe needs improving to try and stop this happening. All fish returned.

No sign of any fly life at all yet beautiful day. Managed five fish but hard earned, catching on size 18 + 20 nymphs.
