Feedback & Reports

Despite being accompanied by the excellent Oliver Burch, we had a tough day with only 2 small trout on a PT nymph #18 in the 1st riffle above the bottom boundary. Saw olives of various descriptions, but only a few. Some rising fish, but only sporadically - unsurprising given bright sun and low water. Saw a large salmon with 2 big fungal patches. In the afternoon, we fished a private beat lower down that had deep runs, and caught 2 14-15" fish on big prince nymphs.

12lb salmon caught this morning from Carrots on Flying C. A few fish showing but not travelling.

1 Salmon, 1 Chub, 1 Pike

Lovely morning's fishing. Chub much more interested in my flies than any salmon which may have been present.

A wonderful day out in the most idyllic setting. Perfect weather 12-17 degrees C. No wind, some light cloud but mainly sunny. Water clear and quite low.
I caught 4 lovely brown trout, 3 around half a pound but one about 3/4 pounds. All returned. Fished dry fly using a No 16 pheasant tail. I was a bit surprised to catch anything as very little in the way of rising trout.

15lb liced Salmon caught from the tail of the Vanstone Pool spinning with a blacktail flying C, lost another in the head of the pool. Big thankyou to Mick the Ghilllie for pointing me in the right direction!

Just a quick fish after work 6 - 8pm. 2 x trout, 8 and 11 inch. Missed quite a few splashy rises to a dry klink. No fly on water, fish activity not as much as anticipated- considering it was 20 degrees at 6.00 pm.

2 Trout

Not much activity visible, both trout on spinner.

Very nice day, with 3 or 4 others fishing the same beat. Water levels very low for the time of year, but right through the day there seemed to be fish ready to take a nymph wherever there was broken water and a little depth. Nothing of any size though. Four were around 6 - 8oz, and three more smaller - salmon parr size. Maybe they were salmon parr??
