Booked fishing on Goodrich court after reading it was classic fly fishing water, and I was not disappointed with the quality of the fishery. From entering the gate to the car park, it was a delight to see pheasant, partridge and wild hares scattering around. There was no gillie available on the day so we just covered as much water as possible in 11 hours, we did manage to cover all pools except the cottage pool, and we did see 5 salmon in deep water on Vanstone pool but could not tempt them to the fly. Overall an enjoyable trip with my father.

River a little on the high side (and rising) but perfectly fishable. Had a good run through most pools on the fly but without getting attached to anything. Did mange to net a 14 pound plus bar of silver for Mick from Birmingham. Looking forward to my next visit.

Mick put me on the fish again but no takes. Five salmon showed in the beat. Lots of work done on steps and path ways.

Fished with spinner, although I didn't catch any fish on this occasion I had a very enjoyable day for the short time I stayed, I had other commitments so had to cut my trip short, very much looking forward to my next visit on May 1st.

Good day's fly fishing with sink tip and aluminium tubes, ably guided by Oliver Burch. One 'handshake' at the Dog Hole, one jumping at Vanstone pool.
