Feedback & Reports

A few hours fishing in the morning. Very strong winds but it challenging fishing, although there were a few fishing rising in the shelter under some trees. Nothing caught.

Sunny, cloudy, breezy. Rising fish few and far between, then mostly in sheltered, shady spots. 6 fish for the day to 10 inches,(w.b.t.), then at 5.30, casting to rising fish on far bank, hooked a better fish on sz. 18 nymph. leapt clear like a sea trout 3 times and eventually weighed in at 2.75 lbs. Lovely condition and safely returned after one for the album.

No catches but lost at least 5 fish, one of which was 1lb plus.

4 x BT returned. 4 hours fishing. Couple of hours around lunch time couple of hours in the evening. Lots of may fly but fish not really rising. 2 x on may fly spinners and 2 x on emergers.

Lovely beat.

A lot of mayfly but only sporadic rising. My regulation quota of 2 trout caught - one day I will catch 3.

My first visit to this beat. What an impressive variety of water - fast runs, gravel flats, pools - something for everyone. Caught 4 WBT @ 10" - 12" on #14 parachute Adams plus 1 OOS dace from the flats above the bridge.

My thanks to the ladies at the WUF office. I asked for easy wading and that's just what they delivered, making it a very enjoyable days fishing.

No fish caught. Arrived in the evening and fished for a couple of hours. River very low. Steady hatch and a few fish rising, but almost impossible to get into range for a cast as they were so easily spooked in these conditions.

Both rods blanked. Plenty of fish rising.

Arrived at 9am, began fishing rock pool, water low for time of year, 4-5 small trout of between 5-10" and a very energetic dace of around 12" all on a gold head hares ear and returned unharmed.
After lunch I spent the afternoon fishing dry fly at and below the bridge 3 small trout caught on a greenwells spider, all returned, one fish with recient injury (classic pike bite pattern)first signs of a mayfy hatch around 4 o-clock as I was leaving.
Thanks for a fascinating day on a truly beautifull river.

Seven trout to 14", all on dry fly (Greenwells).
