Feedback & Reports

A nice day, weak sunshine, water had touch of colour but still able to see bottom near bank, no fish rises all day [11 am--3.30 pm] no fly rises although the occasional olive 5-6 throughout the day. No fish caught, was fishing up stream nymphs of various sorts. Will visit the beat again so very fishy looking!!!

No catches to report nymphing for grayling. Water levels quite high I think and was quite coloured. Will be back another time. Thank you.

What a nice little beat. Managed two grayling and out of season WBT. All fish caught on weighted red spot gammarus shrimps.

A couple of hours on this short beat, one belting trout of 1lb 13oz made the afternoon plus another of 14 inches on Sawyers nymph. High sticking in the few fast bits of water.

Upstream dry fly. Very bright day. Water very slow above weir. Little sign of fish, possibly some large chub moving deep.
Couldn't stay to fish late.

Very good day, fish rising to the mayfly 5 brown not very big but my first river brownies and on the mayfly. Well pleased.

River fast, no rises.

Only managed a couple of hours in the early afternoon, hot and sunny with nothing rising in a river that I suspect was a little high. Fished duo with dark olive klink and pheasant tail nymph on point. No luck but an interesting little section worthy of another visit in the evening sometime.

The river is still carrying some colour and I didn't see a rise all day. Found one perfect 6 inch fish in the weir pool. Some tree clearing has been carried out on the lower half of the beat which makes access much easier.

Rematch with my 14 yr old this time the prize for the biggest fish...guess what... He got it again with a lovely brownie of around 12".
River was absolutely teeming with lampreys on the shallows. Literally thousands of them, never seen so many in over 30 yrs of river fishing!
