The river is still very low and very clear, the catching windows today were between 9 and 11:00 in the morning on nymphs and between 7 and 9:00 in the evening on dry

Great day with some nice fish. Scenery amazing and the Kites and Buzzards wheeling above provide the soundtrack.

Extremely hot late morning. Clouded over mid afternoon with a few spots of rain. Had a couple of Grayling on bugs before lunch and lost a bigger fish in the deeper holes. Spiders in the afternoon accounted for three more Grayling and a Brownie.
Rest of the catch made on size 18 dry sedge when the rise started. Grayling upto 12oz, biggest Brownie about 10oz.
Lovely beat to fish, will bring wadding stick next time. Thoroughly recommend.

Water very low but still some nice pockets. Fish caught on Hares Ear Bead Nymph and Red Tag Nymph. No rising to dry flies until around 10am.

First time fishing this fantastic beat, and it certainly lived up to expectations. As many others have already noted, the setting is beautiful and the fishery is exceptionally well managed. The variety of water on offer allows anglers to employ a range of techniques. I spent most of my time nymphing under a New Zealand yarn indicator in the faster runs and riffles. There was plenty of interest throughout the day, although only one fish ultimately found its way to the net. A special mention goes to Rachael, one of the owners, whom I met during my visit and who was incredibly helpful, welcoming, and accommodating.

Well up the river to find cool water. James had a good chat with owner Shaun who said there had been some excellent hatches at night fall. Unfortunately the temperature dropped significantly and nothing materialised by 9.15. Never mind we managed 6 nice fish on dries … best brownie 18” best grayling 14”. A few more bumped off including a couple under far bank trees after I had spent 20 mins getting in to position to cast to them. Grrrr ….

68 fish between two anglers today. All on nymphs due to little dry fly from weather conditions. Some lovely trout over a pound/pound and a half. Several beautiful graying into the 40cm range.dozens in the 30cms. Some difficult wading areas if unconfident. Owners are both lovely and helpful. Another angler on the water today was struggling, we lent him a few flies and with some guidance he doubled his days catch in 10 minutes! Scenery is gorgeous and if it wasn’t for even better fishing I would come back without a rod. 5⭐️
