Great fishing - starting at 2 pm and olives hatching constantly until 8 pm. All fish caught on dries including Dogsbody, Rupert Bear,Tup's and Griffiths gnat. Very good quality fish up to 2lbs. A memorable day.

Cold downstream wind made things quite tricky at times however we had a good time. Ten trout to 38cm most on dries.

Arrived 9am, coldish with strong westerly wind, frequently gusty. No fly hatch, no fish rising. Pulled wets for 3 hours on the upper end of the lake close to the river mouth and down along the roadside bank. No offers at all, no fish seen and no sign of any other anglers. There is quite a lot of weed growth in the water which frequently mucks up the flies. Left just before noon.

We caught 3 trout, one about one and a half pounds to a nymph. River seemed strangley subdued very little rising could not catch on the dry fly.

Water extremely low which made things very challenging as very limited water movement. 1 nice trout caught and a number of other large ones disturbed including one of 3 to 4lb which I mistook for a salmon at first!

Water extremely low. Caught 3 nice trout and lost a leviathan for a stream like this (c. 2lb). Attractive stream.

Water extremely low. 1 little trout to the fly and I disturbed a number of good sized trout. Another 6 inches of water would have made all the difference. The upper section is very beautiful.

The river was in good condition and not too over grown.
The trout were holding in the faster water and were happy to rise to small dark flies. There were plenty of splashy takes, and we managed to stay attached to a few.
A good day out. Many Thanks.

Didn't catch only fished in morning, nothing much about. Maybe it had something to do with the family of three otters that appeared opposite me at one stage, playing in the river under the bank. Still had good day and will certainly try again.

Book the beat for the day but only planned on fishing the evening. River level was low but fish still showing taking off the surface in the pool. Size 18 black klinkhammer. Nice beat will be returning...
