Feedback & Reports

The river was very low and slow not helped by a strong upstream wind. I searched out the faster deeper runs and found Trout in most of them.
4 nice Grayling to 18 inches came from the deeper pools.
All the fish caught on weighted nymphs on French leader including my best ever river Trout of 20 inches.

12 Trout, 4 Grayling

Arrived at 11am fished till 4pm. Water low, clear, no rises. Fished faster bits with dries etc hard going but caught 4 wbt best 8ins.

The day was bright and the river low and clear. All fish taken on a parachute and although nothing over 6 inches they put up a spirited fight on my 6ft #3 rod.

2 smaller fish, larger ones were showing, but were not interested in my flies.

Day started off badly after I managed to plunge myself in for an early swim after a bit of bank gave way before I had even started fishing!!! lol. Had 6 trout, nothing big and gave up after spending the morning a tad damp!

Cold down stream wind. There were a few Iron blues coming off the water as well as March Browns, which made fly choice tricky. It was the Iron Blues that proved most successful. One out of season Grayling and a few Browns made for a pleasant but tricky days fishing on this varied beat.

4 Trout, 1 Grayling

Arrived 9.30am cold ,overcast very windy started at down stream limit with duo set up 3rd cast wbt to sight fly, followed by others missing the fly! Changed to a dry fly. River quite cloudy and did clear as the day progressed however the wind increased, middle to top not fished due to upstream waves! Found fish rising to bo/bwo hatching midday, last fish 14ins grayling all others trout 5--8ins, all fish returned. Will try again when less windy!

7 Trout, 1 Grayling

Started at the bottom of the beat and worked our way up about half way before the wind changed and turned cold.
Sporadic hatch throughout but trout more than willing to come up for a klinkhammer fished in the faster parts of the pools/runs. No monsters, biggest about a pound but good fun.

Bright conditions with the river running low, most of the wadable stretches below knee height. Two small trout taken on a parachute adams, both about 5". Switched to a Goldhead PTN and bagged a brace of OOS grayling, the second a whopping 2.5lb must rate as a monster from this small river.
