Feedback & Reports

River was a little high but clarity fairly good. Not much evidence of rising fish but a reasonable number of upwings coming off for most of the day. Too high to reach or see the usual pools. I mainly fished the slower margins and edge of the main channel. A dozen trout and a single tiny grayling came mostly on a black magic nymph but a there were a number of rises to pale evening duns and cdc olives. Best of the day was a 13" wbt that came up to an olive dapped in the fast water below ciliau falls and rocks when a stiff breeze picked up around 3.30pm.
Great day out.

Warm overcast afternoon, water coloured but dropping. No fish contacted below bridge. Above bridge trout were rising to fly in most pools.
4 wbt to 6" on GRHE and PTN from runs and 6 more to grey wulf from pools. Best fish 10 inches.

We caught 3 rainbow trout on spinners, the largest of around 2 and a half pounds was taken whilst the other 2 were returned. Also caught a perch of around 3/4 pound on a rubber lure.

River running fairly high but clear. A variety of flies coming off did not tempt the fish to rise, with only the odd fish showing itself throughout the day. The catch was made up of mainly smaller fish with a couple of 12" and the best of 15" which were taken on nymphs fished on a French leader set up. A nice beat that suits a right handed caster fishing upstream.

Overcast dry day, some sun in the afternoon. Good fly catches but very few rises all day. Brown nymphs, trout 1x12oz, 4x4oz all returned, beautiful fish.

Lovely setting, weather overcast, light winds.
No fish caught. No fish rising, plenty of bites from mosquitos though!

All on nymphs, all returned.

Beautiful conditions and lovely beat, but virtually no trout activity at all, despite a healthy but shortlived hatch of mayfly in the early evening. I couldn't understand it. It was around 17C air temperature and clearly not too cold for a hatch so where were the fish? Pity but I enjoyed the day nevertheless.
