Feedback & Reports

I fly fished useing a dry fly and caught three good size brown trout which were all returned back to the reservoir. There is still an issue with the rubbish on site. If you could please resolve it as soon as possible it would be much appreciated. Thank you.

I caught two brown trout which I returned safely. They where caught using a dry fly and a floating line.
I would like to bring to your attention there was an issue with litter at the lake.

Fished all morning until the heavens opened. Very few places to cast from. No takes or fish seen, tried all sorts. I would have booked a different water myself if I could have worked out how to do this using the new system - too diificult for me, don't think I will bother trying again.

Started fishing at 08:30 and weather was misty and wet, wind was moderate and from the South. First fishing point was on the West bank opposite the small island. Saw a few fish rising but couldn't see any flies about as it was so wet. Fished in several locations along the West bank using wet fly and dry fly but didn't have any takers. After about an hour all went quiet, nothing rising. Weather cleared early afternoon but still no sign of fish. Gave up at 5pm. Most disappointing was the amount of rubbish left by previous visitors to the West bank.

Tough day, very bright with a strong gusty wind that wouldn't settle in any direction. Picked up one 3/4 pound brownie with a Bibio on the point, using a sink tip and fishing from the Dam. Was disappointed to find a lot of litter about at Beacons (probably as its easily seen and accessible from the road), two young lads turned up to fish with a bubble float and spinner as well, but were sent on their way.

My first attempt at fly fishing and I didn't catch anything. Sunny day with a breeze from the south west. Couple of hatches during the afternoon with trout topping but out in the middle of the reservoir. Lots of small fish, up to an inch long, in the margins.
Difficult to fish due to the vegetation and steepness of the banks but it is all a learning curve.
I'm sure I'll be back at some point and hope to at least get a bite next time!

We only fished for 30 minutes as the bank was inaccessible, the water was full of weed, and even with a hatch, we did not see a fish or a sign of a fish in the two hours it took to walk round. Waste of time and money.

A few fish rising but nothing caught in 7 hours of fishing.
