Feedback & Reports

1 x trout,returned. Emerger pattern. Bright sunny day but with difficult downstream wind.

Looked liked a perfect day in lovely surroundings. Slightly overcast with light wind. Excellent variation in waters but not a rise all day from 11am to 7pm despite many hatches of flies of many types.
Fished most styles but only had a couple of tiddlers on gold PTN while fishing Klinkhammers on the dropper.

Not sure why so little trout activity but very nice place to spend the day.

A cloudy sky and plenty of mayfly made for a good days fishing. Fourteen trout were caught on either Iron Blue or a light brown Klnkhammer, all fish were returned.

Could have been a sea trout, or a very good wild brown trout, or even a stocked brown from elsewhere on the river. Either way, it was a monster. Actually, two monsters, one about 2lb and the other even bigger at 2.5lb. Nothing all morning and then half a dozen, including the two lunkers, in one pool, one after the other within a 30min span. Could have been the weighted nymph (which I subsequently lost up a tree), or the sun which peaked through, the time of day, or just pure luck. As luck would have it, nothing for rest of day but what thrill to catch and release the two monsters. Fantastic.

5 trout, 2 parr and 1 shad to one rod, 8 trout, 1 shad and 1 grayling to the other.

Nothing Caught

5 brown trout caught, 3 at 10 - 12 inches and 2 smaller ones. All caught on Adams or Greenwells dry. One fish taken, judging by the colour of its flesh, it was one of the stocked brown trout. Very few fish rising and only a small hatch of mayfly. Acces to river quite difficult in places with undergrowth and steep banks. Overall though, a great stalking afternoon of watching and casting, just what trout fishing should be like.

Fished 5-9pm. 2 WBT 7 inches. Plenty of mayfly but only little interest.

Water clear and running well. Very hot sunny day, however the stream is mostly sheltered by the tree canopy. A great place to try out my new 6'6'' split cane brook rod. No fish movement at all and none seen; sadly I blanked!! Very nice stretch of water however and possibly a better result could be expected on a cooler day. Apologies to WUF for not having a scribe to fill out my vouchers (2931-5).

Good fishing, water like glass, very hot and bright. 2 small brown trout and 1 salmon parr. Did not like the booking fee.
