River level really poor, and fishing it is extremely difficult. Caught all fish with the duo, using a small pink nymph. Lovely and peaceful place. ATTENTION to the weir, not comfortable at all to have all those animals around when fishing. As well the upper limit is not accessible at all.

Quick afternoon fish for me, so only fished the bottom half of the beat. Fished using the klink and dink method (though used a humpy or adams irrestiable istead). Fish in good condition, though nothing trophy sized. Chub took the dry....

Having somewhat struggled previous day on upstream beat at Foy Bridge we were optimistic that Saturday was going to be different and decided to go all out for the Barbel today. Fished most swims along this beat before settling into swims by island for final three hours. Really struggled for bites but hey that's fishing and would in no way put me off booking this beat again. As yesterday plenty of Salmon activity in faster flow by Island swims. Chub fell to rolling meat tactic in faster water.

Sat 3 October. Cadora Backs 19 1/2 lbs to Michael Williams.
Redbrook 18 lbs to Ricky Reno.

2 Salmon

Fished top section between the gate and fishing hut, 2 chub early on, but besides numerous salmon leaping in the pools, nothing else doing.

Cold start to the day ment I used heavy nymphs for the first couple of hrs that produced about six grayling. As the day warmed up the fish got a bit more active towards a continual hatch of pale watery's, bwo's and the occasional caddis so dry fly was used for the rest of day. All fish between 8" and 14" great sport.

1 Trout, 20 Grayling

A super day on a lovely beat. Weather was mild and mostly sunny with light winds. Fish were rising but only in bursts of about 5-10 minutes, followed by a lull for perhaps 30 minutes. All our fish were caught on dry flies, mostly small (size 20) griffith gnats. Best fish was 16 inches, perhaps about 1lb 10 ozs, but average size was 12-13 inches. Another Angler sharing the beat had more than 20 grayling. He was obviously more experienced (or skillful) than us.

8 Grayling
