Feedback & Reports

Water up but slowly dropping throughout the day. A lot of debris coming down which meant it was difficult to hold bottom even with heavy leads. All fish were caught within an hour late afternoon & then it went dead again. Water had dropped enough by fourish that I decided to try trotting with light tackle to see if I could pick up a small chub or two; First cast, float set at about 5 feet ,size 14 hook & a small cube of spam ,float disappeared & lifted into a fish . After 10-12 minutes thinking I was into a barbel & making little progress the fish jumped clean out of the water & broke the line at the hook. About 12-14lb salmon was my estimate, quite coloured just above Loxsters Pool. They are in there!

The sand martins were conspicuous by their absence , especially as there was an almost continuous hatch throughout the day. Somewhere over Africa by now I suppose.

Thanks again to all for our few hours of pleasure.

River fairly high, falling. Very strong wind and heavy showers made fishing on the fly somewhat difficult. Fished mainly on Beat 6. One fish seen on Beat 4, nothing caught.

Managed to battle the rain until lunchtime...one lovely Barbel at just over 7lbs

River clear amd low. 6 hours of fishing for pike and blank. Enjoy anyway. Looking foward to come back again :-)

Low/clear water making it tricky but still caught, lots of greedy chub about!
