Feedback & Reports

River in good order, but very dead all round, no hatches, no trout and certainly no Salmon. Got to be fish somewhere, but after trying everything a fly rod can offer, nothing to report.

1 Trout

River dropped of nicely, only had a couple of hours so fished through the Rock pool and gravel catch just a couple of greedy WBT. Good to get the cast arm back in action.

First time out this year, river a little high but a nice colour. A few hungry trout landed in the Gravel and Rock Pool. Fished through the Bridge Pool and had a very solid pull and thought my luck was in, only for it to be a good chub about 4 and a half pound, got the heart racing for a few seconds!

5 Trout, 1 Chub

Did not fish. River still too high. I had a walk along the bank on top part of the Rectory and there is aquite a lot of debris in the shape of trees and branches along the bank that might make fishing a little trickey when the level subsides.

Best of 3 barbel 12lbs 3oz; best Chub 6lbs

Coloured cock fish with a well developed kype , estimated at between 20 and 25lb ( yes, a right monster)from between the Island run and the Rock Pool. Fished a slow sinking line with a 10ft fast sink polytip. Took an inch and a quarter aluminium tube cascade on my last cast of the season! Took 20 minutes to land, kept in the net and returned safely to go off and do his job.

1 Salmon

Nothing seen or touched.
