Feedback & Reports

Despite the warm weather very little moving all day. In mid afternoon covered one of the very few moving fish and landed a trout just under 1.5 lbs.
That was the only activity for the day.

First outing of the season and 10 trout 4-8 inches to show for my efforts. Fished the duo and caught fish on both the dry fly and the nymph. No real hatch to speak of and the only rises were those to my fly. River has changed somewhat since my visit last season; a few more fallen trees to contend with. Still, a good start to the season.

River was running high and coloured, three fish on and off! On small ptn's ,large olives coming off in periodic spells and a few March Browns.

Fished all day, saw a few rises at about 3 pm - but otherwise not much. The river might have been a little too high for perfect conditions. Caught a small trout on a dry fly in the evening.
Saw some otter foot prints on a muddy bank about halfway up the beat. Lovely beat to fish and will hopefully return soon.

Impressive, if brief, hatch of March Browns at about midday brought the fish to the surface with splashy rises all around. Otherwise, not much surface activity despite a trickle of olives through the day and a few of what looked like the first grannom of the year.
Biggest trout was around 1 1/4lb, with the oos grayling going to 1.5lb. Most took a gold headed ptn with a few coming up to a grey klinkhammer.

One trout of about 2lb, caught on a pheasant tail nymph and returned. Quite a few kids poaching.

Beautiful beat and lovely sunny day but unfortunately nothing hatching and no fish to be seen all day. Tried every nymph in the box with no luck, looking forward to coming back once the water has warmed up a little!

Fished for an hour in slightly coloured water. Caught and released two fish around 10 inches both on grey copperhead nymph. Will be back for a longer session in future!
