Feedback & Reports

Had a lovely day on Saturday. Fishing wasn't easy, but the quality of the fish was superb. Managed 4 fish, 3 on nymph one on a dry. Best fish about a pound and a half others around the pound mark.

Steady trickle of Large dark olives started about 11:30 peaked around 12:30 and had basically finished by 2pm
I didn't see any granom hatching but late on in the afternoon there were a few fluttering about especially if you disturbed the vegetation in the margins, should be excellent by the end of the week. Met up with Robert a few times during the day and although we didn't fish together exchanged a few flies and chatted about tactics and stuff.

Thanks for organising the day, I still haven't fished about a third of the beat! Will be back for more.

No fish caught today and surprised by the lack of fly life on the water .

Weather was beautiful, but the water was really rather high and fast moving. Didn´t see anything move all morning. Then in early afternoon had a few knocks on goldhead nymphs and finally took a 1lb trout. In the evening a tiny grayling and another even tinier brown were caught. Great day, but can´t wait to come back at slightly lower, warmer water with more flies hatching.

2 Trout - Brown, kept. Very hot day, many smaller fish seen rising throughout but not taking. Both fish caught around 8.30pm on Yellow bodied "daddy long legs" interpretations.

Once again, very reliable and smooth dealings with the Foundation and would again recommend the beat.

Absolutley beautiful day , lovely and warm , which helped dry me out after I fell in. Bit of a contrast from the last time I was here when I got stuck in the snow! Bit too bright for the fish though I think, caught 2 grayling 6 inch & 10 inch, two trout about 8 inch, caught this in a area sheltered by the trees out of the sun. A few olives hatching, no sign of any fish rising. Apart from the four fish caught around lunch time, the morning and afternoon were dead. Most unusual for this beat.

2 x 8 in brownies, returned safely; size 14 greenwell spider. No rise at all or hatch to speak of all day. Very sunny bright. Thanks again.

4 brown trout - 1lb 4oz, 1lb 3oz, 2lb, 2lb 8oz - all returned. 3 caught on copper john nymph, 1 on parachute adams (on the dropper).

Warm with hazy sunshine - glorious spring fishing. A few small duns hatching, but only saw 2 rises all day. All takes were in faster water (last May when I last fished here I caught fish in slower sections).

No fish caught all day!

All Taken on a Dry Spent Mayfly.

1 x Brown Trout 11" Taken
1 x Brown Trout 12.5" Taken
1 x Brown Trout 6.5" put back

Weather was good, several hatches, but not many rising.

Stayed at the Bear, a nice place to stay.

Everything was perfect - warm and sunny, little wind, river clear and falling after much rain, olives and stoneflies hatching but I didn't catch a thing and never saw a fish all day. C'est la vie.
