Feedback & Reports

1 x hen salmon 37 inches on Crawford Little's Abacus tube fly fished off a fast sink tip. I guess Crawford was right; you CAN count on it. A dark day of low clouds and intermittent rain with a gale blowing upstream. There was a slight rise in level this morning, dropping off again. Another fish or a kelt lost earlier on.

Lovely beat but I was let down by the weather as it was far too windy for my casting abilities! Managed to get blown off of my intended trajectory and was surprised that I didn't lose more flies in the trees!
Access from the car park is easy - but there is a lot of barbed wire about. Fished up from here. Persevered for a few hours and had one hook up but lost it. Doh!
Didn't see another fish, or any rises - but I will be back to try another day.
Note that the road is closed for repairs from Kington to this beat's car park.
Booking system is great - many thanks for making it easy!

Low and very clear. V strong wind, downstream, rain. A few olives from 11-2, a few rises. Managed two nice fish from shallowish sheltered part near bank after seeing one move; one on a PTN, the other a klink.

Second fish for Shaun Watkins on the HADAA water at the boxes on rolla salar spinner at 12.45 pm. 15.5 pounds and more fish seen running through.

No salmon caught, but one seen dead floating down the river around 6lb it was whole so unsure why dead? Changing weather so not easy to fish with a lot of wind, but a good day had.

Fished the day mostly on the fly in perfect water conditions but in an increasingly gusty and at times gale force wind. No salmon seen but a very enjoyable day on the river and our first on this beat. One 1lb trout caught and returned after engulfing a large Park Shrimp tube!

Fly fishing with a floating line upstream nymph
Water was clear until about 1pm then they coloured up and we packed in. Good hatches of March Browns before water coloured.

First time out this year, optimistic as always but unfortunately didn't find this beat to my liking. Will try further up river next time as season progresses.

Once the weather had calmed down and become less squally the fishing improved. Quickly caught 4 all a reasonable size.
