Feedback & Reports

Fished the lower half of the beat from the the start to the road bridge half way up. All 25 trout took olive cdc duns fished in the faster water between 11.30 am and 3.30pm . there were a good amount of mayfly on the water but not a single rise to them. On leaving at 3.30pm the trout were just beginning to hit midges in the slacker water at heads of pools and at the tail of pools

Excellent days fishing. Tricky casting as at Abbey Dore Court, started slowly but got going after lunch. Best fish was 14". All taken on Grey Wulff. I am staying at Garway Moon Inn, I can highly recommend it.

3 trout biggest 9"all on nymphs. Very few fish rising. Hooked a good fish by the bridge which broke me. Unfortunately half way up lower beat were 2 cows who proceeded to gallop upstream. Not ideal for fishing or water quality. Nevertheless a lovely beat and I will definitely be back.

Great afternoon's fishing with plenty of action. A few olives hatching but no real rises. Most of the fish were caught on small copper coloured tungsten bead nymph.
One point to be aware of is that there is a large tree down, which dams the river, by the second gate from the start of the beat. The only way is to climb over the trunk as there is no way round it.

Bright sunshine but a cold wind kept any fly life to a minimum. A few Olives coming off but not enough to interest the fish. Fished a small Tungsten bead nymph with a Spider on a dropper, all but One Trout took the nymph.
The fish not quite in full feeding mode yet with some nice looking runs producing nothing and other pools with the sun warming them containing numerous Trout which would shoot off on approach.

A productive two hours fishing which resulted in one very nice wbt. I also had three other takes but failed to catch any of them. There were a few rises seen.

Lovely stream though a bit of an obstacle course to wade up through. Caught and returned two small wild brownies - tough day but thoroughly enjoyable.

First time out this season and thought Chanstone would be a good bet early season. Fished Tenkara with a single Tungsten bead nymph. 3 Grayling caught in the lower half before lunch and 2 Trout caught upstream of the bridge in the afternoon. Saw a couple of Olives in the air around midday but no fish rising.
