Feedback & Reports

First chance to get out this season so spent a couple of hours on the top section only. Warm and bright with a light breeze. Persisted with selection of dry flies but saw sight nor sound of a fish and very little fly hatching. Only encouraging sign was a lot of fry in the warmer slacks.

Didn't see any fish moving. Fished from 11 till late but didn't manage to cover all the fly-fishable water.

Sunny day but temperature was still low, some insects on the water but not many fish showing. One small fish caught on nymph near bridge and returned.

No fish caught. Very sunny and we only saw one fish (after we had spooked it!).

Beautiful day! Got there just in time for the midday hatch. Trout rising but tricky fishing without waders [forgot them!]. A magical place to fish. I will return...with waders!

Worm and bubble float used on all three lines.

Another day of biting NE winds with strong gusts made for difficult conditions. River height and clarity were excellent. This was a first visit to this bear for both of us and we tried various methods inclduing spiders, nymphs and bugs. JG contacted an very big brown trout in the shallower margins on an upstream nmph. The fish was in the order of 2lbs and bore marks of a bird attack unfortunately.
At around 1pm a terrific hatch of fly began mainly LDO's and plenty of March Browns which were super to see. Just an odd fish showed interest in what was a brilliant hatch spoiled I guess by the weather. Dry flies failed to produce any response with the fish picking just an odd fly out of the wealth of fly available.
Lovely beat - will return when this awful weather disappears.
