Late report Wednesday evening, beat 1. Lovely 16lb fish to syndicate rod on a Devon Minnow. Fish showing on the beat, superb conditions.

1 Salmon

A lovely place to fish - a great recommendation from the Booking Office! Cool (13-15 degrees) with some patchy sun. A lot of fly life hatching consistently through the day but almost no activity on the surface.
Fished the bottom section, from 1 - 6pm, up through the pools. Largely using a size 14 rust-coloured hi-viz klinkhammer, with a size 16-14 weighted PTN 18 inches underneath. Had about 10 trout of 4-10 inches, two on the klink and the rest on the nymph. I missed a hatload more and some interest to a dry fly from the one consistently rising rish I did see (missed it twice!). I'll be back to explore the top end!

10 Trout

No salmon caught and no fish seen running, a little coloured and probably a bit to high, should be good for the weekend. I did catch a Shad accidentally, a first for me it took a 1.5" Cascade.

Nothing caught.

Breezy and sunny afternoon until evening session, no Salmo Salars caught or seen. 2 x Shad accidently landed, also 2x Sea Trout (1 and 3lbs est). Thank you.

A bright, blustery day with the cool wind coming downstream. I spent about six hours on the beat and didn't see a single fish.

Enjoyable day fishing lovely water - One salmon seen no contacts sadly. Plenty of great water for the fly angler on this beat. Many thanks to Seth & WUF for all your help!

Lovely beat. Sadly the weather meant very few fish on top despite huge hatches coming off about 2pm. A parachute olive did the trick between 2 & 3pm. Fish in good condition.

6 Trout

1'4" Fished lower half of beat. Salmon showed in Rectory pool. Nil.

A nice day with fish coming to both upstream nymph and dry. Best patterns were CDC dun & Baetis nymph. There was a significant hatch of olives around 1pm which got the fish looking upwards but it was soon spoilt by a strengthening downstream wind. A pike of 6 or 7 pounds was spotted lurking near the head of one of the pools too. Thanks WUF & landowner.
