Feedback & Reports

No fish on dry fly. Some flies on the water but no hatch.

Once again a superb beat, but as always one of the most challenging. 4 fish (all returned), the best at the top where the river levels off. All on an Adams. A few more came to the fly, but failed to contact.

Dry fly only , Royal Wulff , 1 x 9inch brown taken and 3 fish lost, had few rises that was missed. River looked low but clean and nice day.

Nice place. I will be back. Something weird to be honest because there were a lot of flies but no fish rising, only a couple of rise and that´s all at the end of the day.

Catch method was worm.

No fish caught by myself or J, river level relatively low, temperature around 12 degrees (river that is). Spinning with various lures including Devon Minnows, Tobies, Mepps but no takes from any fish. Enjoyed the fishing in beautiful surroundings despite not catching, Red Lion is lovely place to stay.

34 inch cock fish which took a black and yellow tube, on intermediate tip now, in Carey Stream. Took me all the way down to the bottom end, me stumbling after, jumped a few times and right down to the old railway bridge piers. Full marks for effort I thought. Hook dropped out once it was in the net. A lovely silver hog-backed fish. I had to go and have a pint at Hoarwithy to recover.

Floating line, small dark flies. Disappointing size - rainbows less than 1lb each.

Nothing caught.

Hard days fishing, very sunny and quite windy but a beautiful stretch of water. Only a few fish taken on dry and nymph but a wonderful relaxing day by the river.
