Feedback & Reports

Changeable weather meant fishing was tough. Bright sunshine then thunderstorm and rain. Smaller trout taking dries in the larger pools but bigger fishing holding in the fast water towards the top of the beat.

Took my son along for his first foray into wild stream fishing, I think he was more impressed with the setting than the prospect of catching fish!!!!!
Arrived about 10.00 am and plenty of fly life on the water, river very low and gin clear, it was going to be a tough day!
Searched all the usual lies, foam lines, riffles, rocks, undercut banks, nothing doing. Two 8” beauties taken on GRHE in the slackest water you could imagine!!
A few mayflies coming off but anything rising seemed to be far more interested in the smaller up wings coming off, but couldn’t get closer than 20’ without them disappearing, will need a far stealthier angler than me to catch them!!
An excellent day spent on one of my favourite beats, such a beautiful place to spend a day and my son thoroughly enjoyed it.

After a heavy shower, an excellent evening hatch and rise, 7.30 to 9.30, which I matched fairly well using an Usk Jingler (14) - emerger pattern? Three fish of about 16 inches, and one of 19 inches (2.5+ lbs), the rest mostly around a pound.

No fish today

Stunning location. Fish about. I'm just new to Fly Fishing so nothing caught today.

No fish caught.

Another bright and warm day, the river low but clear and looking in decent condition despite a month of no rain. Fished early and late. Had one fish of about a pound at the bottom in the morning and another at the top in the evening. Both returned. Lovely to see the kingfisher, dippers, ducklings and martins. There were a number of youths spinning on the far bank and a couple of kayakers came through.
