Feedback & Reports

Fly and spinner nil return other than one small Shad. River at a good height but no fish seen which at this time of the year was unheard of. Access to two of the best runs difficult in one case and dangerous in another (the Neck) which was one of the best runs at the same height when I last had the Friday rods some 30 years ago. Beat requires some bank work and trimming/clearance of withies on the Islands. Additionally, some less than thoughtful anglers have discarded their rubbish by dropping it over the veranda of the fishing hut. Saddening lack of weed in the river which used to be plentiful particularly above Boughrood Bridge. It was also sad to see a once glorious part of the river reduced to what it is now. River authorities need to hang their head in shame.

Trickle hatch of various species but in very low numbers, so no rises. Had few on nymphs in the fast water. Extremely difficult wadding in moderate flows in the upper part of the beat.

Nothing of any significant size. All taken on dry cdc dun around 11ish. River looking good with plenty of fly life .

Beautiful May Day. The trout ignored the dry fly today, but showed some interest in a March Brown spider fly fished on the duo.
