Penpont was a great place to spend the day with Bob and Naithan. All in all around 8 fish were landed with a few missed or long range released. A good hatch around 1pm had the fish looking up all afternoon.

2 trout caught but weather rained us off. Worth noting the wading is not easy as described and one of our party couldn't fish much due to this.

5 x trout 6-8 inches on a small Rusty Klinkhammer. This little brook seems to be about to wake up. A day of chilly showers and a slow start, but a few fish were rising at the top end.

Very wet day, river very coloured, clay banks downright nasty and slippery. Wading fine underfoot but coloured water meant only shallow sections could be waded safely. 15 small trout on goldheads, lots of follows on lifting. Nothing rising but easy to believe lots of trout when there is a hatch. Many trees down across the river and a lot of rubish in the water meaning a lot of bank climbing in and out of the river.

Water very coloured. No Salmon seen or caught. Lovely beat and excellent service from the Foundation.

I have been fishing 3 times and have caught rainbow trout, the biggest was 4lbs 3oz, caught them on worm.

2 trout both on 5inch salmon flies no salmon.

15 brown trout caught, all released - largest fish about 1.25 lbs. 12 caught on dries, 3 on nymphs. Despite the fairly persistent rain, fish were rising fairly regularly during the middle of the day. The river looked in good condition despite the rain.

No fish caught. Weather quite cold and breezy with no apparrent fly life or fish activity. Stayed for only approx 90 mins due to weather.

8 x trout 6-15 inches, various spiders and Dark Olive Sparkle Dun. A short but busy large dark olive hatch on a day of cold winds and showers. And for 10 minutes I played a really nice big trout, hooked on the point with a Hare's Lug and Plover, which after all sorts of acrobatics unexpectedly dropped off at the last moment. Didn't Isaac Walton say something about what you never had, you cannot consider lost? Not much of a consolation!
