Feedback & Reports

Beautiful day on the river. Managed to catch 2 x 18 inch Brown trout. One on a small olive emerger pattern and one on a green perigdon Lost two others. Lots of fly life as day went on (olives, LDO, the odd mayfly I believe, and a pinky looking fly, evidence of stonefly hatch also) Rises seemed to only be in certain water types/areas, other than those areas ( medium flow with cover) did not see much else. Water temp 12 degrees, suspect water level low for this time of year. Water very clear most places.

3 or 4 fish rising no takes. Difficult access to river from bank so best to get in and wade the river instead of walking the bank.

Conditions
Air Temp – 18>15°c
Water Temp - 15°c
Light wind and overcast
Evidence of sewage fungus (grey/white coating of rocks indicating excessive organic pollution)
Take heed of the need for biosecurity. We spent time washing all equipment of contaminant and odour. Not a good way to end what was otherwise an enjoyable day!

Conditions were good but the fishing was hard. Fish were rising but weren't interested in my dry fly offerings.I also tried nymphs and wet flies but still no success.

Two trout to the net and safely released. Both on dry a Adams Klinkhamer patter.

Water far too low to fish. Will hopefully be able to re-book another venue via this site.
