Feedback & Reports

Arrived at the top of this long and majestic beat to find the river at a lovely height and recently cleared. Wading was challenging with the push of water and took me a while to build my confidence, wading stick is a must.
Nothing rising so started with a klink and dink. No response to this so switched to nymph and spider.
Caught on and off throughout the day finishing with a dozen, 5 trout and 7 Grayling with a couple of good fish throwing the hook. My friend JJ also fared well taking 5 trout, strangely no grayling.
All fish were returned.

10 Trout, 7 Grayling

River looked bang on, very bright overhead, saw one fish but only had 4 gutsy trout.

4 Trout

Nice evening on Gromain, got down a little early so started on the nymphs and had a small brownie then a chub and then hooked into what I thought was a monster grayling put up a good fight but was a Shad of a couple of pounds good fun on a #3 ! The spinner fall didn’t really get going pick a few more browns up right at the top of the beat.

5 Trout, 2 Chub, 1 Other

Did not fish owing to lockdown regulations

Did not fish in order to comply with Government instructions not to travel unless absolutely necessary. Incidentally, the advice presently of the Angling Trust is that no one should go fishing. see the Angling Trust website for further information.

sorry did not fish unfortunately self isolating . Better luck may be next time

Pretty chilly in the frosty fog . I stuck it for 3 hrs wading well into the deeper stretches with a bug and small copper head ptn. Never found the grayling but had a nice OOS BT on the ptn.

3 hrs trotting with no bites. Water clear.

After being washed off in September and November, we finally managed to fish this beat before the end of the year. Thanks to WUF for arranging the wash off when the office was closed over the holidays. The river was at 1'10 on the Erwood gauge, so it was high but very fishable. It was also very clear, with the gravels visible when wading waist high. It was a mild day and looked promising, but 3 of us struggled with heavy nymphs and trotting. We only managed three very pale out of season trout all day, and could not find any grayling. Still, it was great to be out and on the river. My car just made it up the track from the fishing hut. It wheel spun all the way up, and needed a push and all the wet leaves cleared off the track. I also lost a glove. If anyone finds a left handed Simms fingerless glove, probably from just in front of the fishing hut, then could they put it in the hut and I will get it when next next in the vicinity. Thanks.

A nice beat but water temperature still quite high hence so many out of seasons browns caught

11 Trout, 2 Grayling
