2 Barbel, 7 Chub

Not a bad day. River still in high water, fast flowing and coloured. Feeder method.

I caught eight brown trout at about five inches. I did not catch at all on the dry fly despite hatches coming off and rises by fish. I caught all fish on a team of three flies consisting a pheasant tail nymph on the point, a greenwell spider on the top dropper and a williams favourite on the middle dropper. A fish about twenty four inches carried my fly six yards and then spat it out, I am not sure what it was.

River .7 on the gauge and quite peaty, started spinning downstream of the bridge and on his 3rd cast my brother (Jason) connected and landed a 3lb fresh grilse in front of the pub, I had a fresh bar of silver present its self twice right in front of me by the cables but unfortunately wasn't interested in my offerings? We then fished above the bridge and at the upper rocks I had a vicious take on a F.C but unfortunately after a brief standoff and a lot of head shaking salmon won to fight another day! Switched to the fly after lunch as clarity of water had improved and although things felt very fishy no more fish were caught? Another great day on this lovely beat.

Only fished beats 4 & 5. Used red flying C's and toby brass spoon, either of which are normally effective. Clarity of river was turbid but did see at least three salmon head/tailing near to the lodge.

River up and coloured made fishing hard plus lots of anglers on opposite bank not a great day but a lovely place to fish

Three 1.5ish lb trout on bottom worm and one lovely 2+lb trout on the mep, conditions were good but not brilliant but still a good day will be back soon!

4 Trout

One 2lb trout with a float, one 1.5lb with a mep then two smaller ones from the bottom, conditions were decent, fairly calm, enjoyed the day out, lovely location!

Fantastic location, stunning scenery. Conditions were very windy with some rain. Caught 1 Wild Carp on sweetcorn that gave a great fight. Will return when conditions are more favourable for anglers.
