Feedback & Reports

Arrived around 5pm, perfect conditions for the evening rise. Caught an 8 inch Grayling on an emerger while waiting for the action to start. Prolific hatch of upwing flies, yellow mays, and small daddy long legs around 8pm. Fish not interested, none seen at all. Left around 9.45pm.

No Salmon caught or seen.

2 salmon caught, first took a yellow Flamethrower, size 9 at 9am at the upper part of Abernant steam. Fish was about 9lbs. Second fish was caught at Lady Alexanders Catch at 1pm and took a orange Flamethrower, size 9 and weighed about 14lbs. The best 25 quid I have ever spent!!!

Nil seen or caught.

Early start to find height perfect but a bit of unexpected colour clearing through the day. Fellow rod Steve took a fish later which showed my timing or competence was the issue - probably the latter !

River levels were up from the rivers average level and visibility was not great due to heavy rainfall a few days prior to us fishing. We caught trout and grayling on both nymphs and dry flies. A nice day out. 8 brown trout and 9 grayling caught in total.

Blank. Well, this didn't pan out. Abernant usually stands up well to high water and, whether there are salmon about or not, has some glorious fly water to fish down. Cunningly, as I thought, I booked myself on late the night before when the rain had finished and the gauge showed just a very modest rise. But I arrived in the early morning to find the water up another 18 inches and the colour of Bourneville cocoa. Persevered with the spinning rod until lunchtime.

River dropping and clearing as day went on but no salmon seen but did manage two small brown trout. Great day in great surroundings.

Trout x 4, Grayling x 3. No fish taken - all returned.

28inch (9lbs est) slightly coloured hen fish at 0720 on fly. Spent most of the afternoon and evening chasing Grayling. About dozen came to my hand and I missed 3 times as many on a small fluffy Sedge. Great fun, great day out, thank you!
