Just a couple of hours coarse angling at this beautiful fishery. A lovely grayling and an OSS trout released at the net - both to trotted maggots. Many thanks to the new owners for all their hard graft - I'll be back!

The height and clarity were great and the conditions not too bad, but the slight easterly and chilly wind seemed to make it more difficult than it might have been on a warmer day. A few LDOs were seen but nothing else. There were maybe 3-4 rises seen during the day. All bar one of our fish were taken on nymphs. A very enjoyable day.

Both blanked. Fish moving, but not tempted by any of the range of flies offered.

Note: The postcode used took my sat nav past the correct turning and then down a very narrow dead end!

I fished for a couple of hours. The trout ignored my grayling bugs today so the grayling got a look in. Lovely beat as always, especially in autumn colours, even though a gentle breeze today brought a fresh crop of leaves onto the river.

Before booking this beat you really need to read comments in other returns, they are correct access to most of this beat is impossible!. I picked a bad time because the water level was really low ( 0.1 on the gauge) so apart from a small section near the bridge ( upper car park ) I had to walk one and a half miles to get into the river . Due to the lack of any flow I only had two fifty yard runs that I could fish! . OK I done pretty well there so I shouldn't complain but it's not alot to go at. The bit near the bridge is also very shallow I could have fished the whole beat with wellies.but I did lose a very big grayling there in only a foot of water. Euro fished one nymph all day and had grayling to 16" ( two) and usual size trout.

I did not attend due to the lack of fishable swims
