I'm so sorry that you had to send a reminder, for I filled in a form that I thought was the correct one on Thursday evening. Blackpool Brook was a little difficult to find. A grid reference would have helped. It was a sunny morning when I fished, occasionally overcast. The trees provided shelter from any breeze there was, and there were plenty of flies of different kinds to be seen. The brook was very low, and there were signs that within the past two months it had been two or three inches higher, which would have made it twice as deep in some places. On the banks there were areas which obviously were marshy at some times in the year, but were dry and I could walk on top of them. There were also pools with enough water to hold small fish, but I saw no rises and caught no fish. I was using a size 18 grey duster. I suppose that there might be fish in the stream in Spring if we've had a wet winter, but I saw none - not a stickleback or minnow; nor even a tadpole! It was, of course, too late for tadpoles anyway, but I am surprised that this stream is included in the WUF handbook.

Had an hour on the little Blackpool Brook. 14 or so to hand on size 20 baetis copper beadhead fished tight to the heads of the pools, all in the 4-7 inch bracket. Very low water conditions but good fun none the less.

Most of this beat was very shallow. I looked in all the deeper pools but couldn't see any fish, although they are no doubt in there somewhere. I needed smaller flies than I possessed for this water, so didn't do much fishing.
Before I started, a chap stopped on the road and reversed up the path, saying he hadn't seen an angler there for years. He said he and friends used to catch salmon parr there in their youth, and that there was much more water flowing down it then. Some of what he was telling me echoed OB's last report for this beat from 2011.
I was also warned about boars and sure enough I encountered one by the water which probably had young ones hidden somewhere. It didn't like my presence and I kept my distance.
