Feedback & Reports

Two small brown trout using GRHE returned to river.
Fished upper end of beat 2-6pm. Lovely river - kingfishers, dippers and signs of otters.

Not much to report on the Salmon front but good sport with WBT on falling and clearing water. Thank you.

Super beat.

Had the stretch to myself for the day, which is a privilege in itself. Walked the whole length and back which meant I passed many holding spots for the resident Brown Trout. Caught 4 to half a pound, but sure there are some big fish about. Lovely noonish hatch with various mayfly in attendance, and late afternoon sedges a plenty.
Stunning place. Difficult wading due to 90% Bedrock but will be back for more. Took fish on Dry Yellow Duns, Wolff's and Red/Brown Sedges. Nymphing is the order of the day if sunny but found fish with cover rising. A joy to fish.

Did not fish for very long, had two very nice trout in upstream nymphing.

Most fish between 8-10 inches, caught on heavy prince nymphs. Lovely beat and water in great condition.

River quite high and coloured after heavy rain yesterday. Water very cold, yet good hatch of fly. Only three trout caught, but many more rising.

A challenging day. Cold and wet. Still 12 degrees and rain better than 8 degrees and hail this time last year! Fortunately the river was fishable - not too coloured or too high, and seemed to fine down and drop over the day. Unsurprisingly, there was very little visible fish activity. 2 tiddlers, 2 x 12" and 1 cracking 15" fish. The latter 3 came within a 5min period in a break in the rain, all to size 16 bead head PTN fished under a klinkhammer.

I really like this beat for the long stretches of different waters, allowing you to put in a length of time with your options, a time to learn and improve in my case.
A warm sunny day was greeted with a consistant flurry of fly life but the reluctance of the the rivers inhabitants to rise proved puzzling.
Two small wbt were brought to hand from the faster water, once again to a partridge & orange spider in a team of three between a hares ear and snipe & purple.
Not much of a return for the time (eight hours) spent but a thoroughly enjoyable day was had.
