Feedback & Reports

3 x grayling 10-14 inches, 9 x out of season trout 7-15 inches, Red Tag and Grey Duster. A downstream gale, the river very slowly rising a couple of inches after overnight rain. The trout were much more prepared to rise than the grayling today. And suddenly we have salmon moving all over the beat. They must know the season is over!

Heavy rain ceased as we arrived at 9am and weather conditions were encouraging being warm and overcast. The river was seriously low and my fellow angler commented it seemed almost dead. Dave lost a barbel at 11am on pellet and feeder which made us think they were on the feed. We were wrong - no more action till 4pm when I landed a barbel of around 6 pounds on light legered meat. We fished till dark with no further fish. A lovely beat and thanks to Dave for introducing me to it.

Difficult the water level had risen after the rain has fallen in the night
We saw a sick truite (40cm) with white plaques (left bank near leaning willow)

Pleasant days fishing with weather wet during morning period changing to overcast during afternoon and evening.
No fish caught using spinner but successful after changing to ledgering with inflated worm.

Beautiful autumn morning, 4 grayling to a very pleasing 14inches on a gold bead nymph. Perfect.

Another difficult but enjoyable day with the motto being stick at it. All 3 barbel came in the last half hour of fishing as the light faded.
A well maintained beat and the work being carried out on the Groynes is impressive.
