5 brown trout largest one a beautiful fish of about 2lbs 8 oz. 3 fish between 1 and 1lb 8 oz. All returned. 3 taken on olive goldhead nymph cast to sporadically rising trout. 2 taken on dry light olive. A difficult downstream wind and no obviously significant hatch. Started fishing around 10 am finished 7pm. Most activity in the first 3 hours. Met owner of beat Mr Lloyd - very helpful and informative. Easy access to this beat with not particularly difficult wading. A lovely day all round.

Another cracking day on the Escley. 15 or so trout to 14" on nymphs, Adams, and mayflies. Plenty of fly life about and presented in the right place I think they would take anything in your box. Some very wary fish, however by exploring right into the fastest water and gullies took some lovely trout. Highly recommended day out and thanks again to the Foundation for the ease of it all.

Spent about 2 hours in the evening with very little activity due to cool wind I think. Pricked two but landed none. Met a lady on her way back to the cottage with a similar report suggesting the beat was overfished. I don't think that's the case. Some days it just doesn't work for you! The walk was lovely.

Beat:Bridge Meadow

Fishing:Trout (River)

No. of Anglers:1

Prolific hatches of yellow may and sparse Mayfly (E.Danica) occurred throughout the afternoon mixed up with an ongoing, blizzard-like Welshman's Button caddis egg-laying swarm.

The fishing was pretty challenging with occasional fish showing committing to eating dry flies. Lots more fish refused just short of taking.

In the evening the fish were more forgiving with some fish up to 2.5/3lbs gobbling small CDC balls of fluff in sizes 18 and 20.

Beautiful piece of water, I look forward to fishing it again, thanks to the Foundation for making this available!

Very quiet day. Lots of mayfly, but no hatch or rise throughout the day. Water level very low - below the summer flow mark on the gauge.

Beat:R37 Middle Escley

Fishing:Trout (River)

No. of Anglers:1

3 x Brown Trout: 1 x 11", 1 x 10", 1 x 7". All fought hard, belying their size. All rose to a red sedge. I fished this beat in March and water levels have dropped significantly since then. Nevertheless, some deep pools remain, and I saw a surprisingly large number of fish rise, particularly in shaded spots and deep water. 2 of those I caught were to speculative casts on water of this kind, rather than to confirmed rises.

One of us is a beginner who unfortunately blanked but thoroughly enjoyed the day. The other rod had a cracking day, fifteen Brownies despite a nasty wind and very low, gin clear water.

A lovely beat, well maintained and very scenic.

Landed 5 small trout and 1 shad ( max 12" ), all on GH PTN in the faster water. Lost another 6 on the way in, and missed about another dozen. Saw a few mayfly, but no rise, even late in the day.

Beat:R29 Monkland

Fishing:Trout (River)

No. of Anglers:1

Arived 4.45pm set up and the third cast a lovely 10" brownie followed by another and then a 6" little fighter. Then the rain came, which put the dampeners on it quite literally.

The yellow dun mayfly hatch was spectacular while it lasted, but the trout that were rising all over the place did not want any may pattern presented, instead they were taking a green olive No12 hook presented as a wet just
sub-surface. Lost a few but great fun while it lasted. One final note access is still quite difficult with high vegitation on the bank and in the water, trees etc.
