Feedback & Reports

Sporadic hatches enabled eight fish to be taken on dry with only one on nymph - hatches came in bursts over most of the day. Several more came off hook including a superb fish that gave its all. Probably could have had more had we not retreated from the wind and rain to The Star for a warming pint.

Short session to get some idea of the stream. 1 fish caught on dry/wet, very spirited fight.

1 Trout

A short visit and only covered bottom of beat. I enjoyed fishing for rising trout for once.

2 Trout

Plenty of splashy rises and a single fish in about 1 1/2hrs fishing. I just wanted to get a flavour of the beat. It was great.

All trout were caught on small nymphs (gold head). Only a few up winged flies came of the water. No real hatch.

25lbs caught on black Flying C this morning.

River clear and running nicely. 2 trout (6/7") on a drab klink while the clouds parted around midday. When the clouds closed in again and the wind blew the trout were not interested in anything, despite some fly life. Hope this is not the weather pattern we can expect the rest of the year!!

No salmon seen. A couple of tugs on the fly in the Parson's Tree Stream.

River about 6" at Fownhope at the start of the day, finally started to rise very slowly at the end of the day. Breezy and cool with a few showers. MP1 had a very exciting, deep and fresh 15lb fish in the Island Stream at 5 pm on size 8 NessC. MP2 then had an equally fresh 12 lb fish from fairly well down the Maddox.
One other fish seen showing in the top lie in the Lines. Only two canoes all day!

No takers today. River at 6” on the gauge, good colour and stayed this way all day. I was blessed with a clear view of three fish in various pools, had to settle for that and good size by-catch. Thank you.
