With temperatures in excess of 25c and not a cloud in sight it was as expected, not easy. We stuck with the dry fly, missed a few and managed an eleven inch and two nines. It was a godsend having the car close at hand, we came stocked with cold drinks and a picnic. Perfect day on a lovely stretch of water. So hot I was tempted to go for a swim!!

The river was very low, bright, with a downstream wind which made presentation very difficult. I had a few small fish on small cdc sedge pattern and a couple on nymphs. Spent a lot of time walking and had a sleep on the bank thought I would wait for the evening.
Around 6.00pm i saw the odd fish starting to rise on a big slow flat. The rises where sporadic and it was very difficult but managed one trout, a good fish around the pound mark. Walked back towards the car and noticed more fish rising in the lovely streamy pool next to where you park. The light was fading and I fished a sedge pattern and started connecting with some good fish, biggest around a pound and a half...
Very pleased. Worth waiting for the evening.

Stiff down stream breeze didn't help but that abated by late morning. No fish rising, fished a duo with PTN and caught 5 trout around 8 -10 inches. Saw one diseased fish around 2 pound. Appeared to have white fungal growth around its head.

Several trout caught throughout the beat. River very low, also several diseased fish seen and two dead. Has there bean any investigation why these fish are diseased??

All 9 were taken in the faster runs on a Hares Ear Pupa, also 1 bat unhooked from a discarded hook and line in a tree towards the end of the beat.

A challenging day - very low and clear water, a chilly downstream wind and very little fly life.

Largest was 1.5lb and average of 0.75lb. Fantastic beat with a good hatch and great fishing. Will definitely return!

3 Browns caught around middle of beat. Largest one taken (approx 12") others returned. Nymphs and small goldheads, not too much on the surface. Love this beat, great variety of water.

One brown trout, water very low and a good down stream wind, fished 2 till 6. I feel l should have moved about more on the whole of the stretch to get the full benefit.

Wow a great day, but again not much rising so the nymph again dominated; duo dry with #20 nymph suspended beneath. An evening rise started at 8pm but sadly we had to leave. Some big fish about. Best today for us was 2.5lb but lost one well over 3lb, it turned twice to dries but did not take properly. Sadly some evidence of diseased fish. Someone needs to get the traps out, there is a plethora of mink on the upper end of the beat.
