Feedback & Reports

Lovely stretch, river in good condition very sunny day fished morning 9-1 with no joy on dry flies. A few fish were rising to the odd hatch but could not temp them. Fished afternoon 5-9 caught fish on black tadpole style nymph. Saw salmon splashing at the bottom end of the beat and startled a very large brown trout that was lying in a small pool by the exit gate which inspired me to come back.

A few inches below 2ft at Fownhope gauge and water slightly coloured. Two fish lost in the morning. We saw dozen fish throughout the day.

Excellent mornings fishing although if I had managed to hook and land as many fish as I had takes then easily into double figures. Best method was a small size 16 copper beaded pheasant tail nymph fished upstream although fish also caught on mayfly hatch late morning. All fish returned ..and I will later in the season!

Taken mostly from the shallow waters under the bridge using dry fly midge.

2 smaller fish, larger ones were showing, but were not interested in my flies.

Bright sunny afternoon, fairly strong wind at times, spent the afternoon spinning close to the first car park using all types and sizes but blanked.

Caught 3, nothing over a pound. Lovely day fishing. Fish caught on weighted olive nymph, quite a few porchers there using worm and spinning, I talked to them and they mentioned they don't see a bailiff up there.

As a newcomer to fly fishing, this was my first experience of river fishing and caught my first wild brown trout aprox. 9" on a dry fly. Weather was sunny and mild with a cool breeze. Thank you WUF I will be trying other river experiences.

Morning session only. A beautiful day; sun with some light cloud; the river a good colour. Very little rising. Five nice trout, one to one & half lbs each taken on comparaduns (three) and gold-head PTNs (two). Beat recommended, although a few dog walkers here and there.
