Feedback & Reports

Afternoon fishing session on stretch above High Force Falls using waders and wading staff (definitely needed). Good water conditions but wind was a real challenge especially as we were fishing the dry fly only on light tackle. 7’ rods with 3/4 etc floating line. Majority of fish taken on Klinkhammer and parachute dry flies on grey and brown patterns and size 16 barbless hooks. No other anglers seen and we fished up to the the quarry.

Fished downstream of bridge at low force to bridge at Newbiggin. Low water meant easy access to lots of interesting pools.

Fished downstream of footbridge at Newbiggin. Very difficult wading without a wading staff as lots of boulders
