Feedback & Reports

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!

Fantastic fishing during a very short hatch of March Browns. Both rods managed fish between 10 and 16" on dry flies and nymphs.

River was high and cloudy at first and was starting to clear around dinner time. Should have crossed the bridge to walk down stream as it appeared (from the nearside bank) that the far side had better casting opportunities for the amateur. Plenty of hatching flies when the sun came out, but I saw nothing rise at all.

Worm and spinner, lovely place to relax and fish.
