1 catch brown trout spinner

Struggled today 1 trout on Toby. overpriced , considering most of the day was ruined by paddle boarders falling/jumping in who no doubt don't pay the very high charges plus fishing passport cut for doing nothing that a ticket machine can't do roads close to unusable. All in all taking the p**s

Absolutely terrible day 20 people fishing and only 2 caught out of the 20 not sure when was stocked last but it needs to be stocked once a week instead of once a fortnight we are basically pay for 1 the birds to eat and 2 for the poachers that go there through the night bn fishing this reservoir for over 12 years and last two years its been a joke

Lovely day’s fishing on a beat which rarely disappoints. 12 fish to 18” with many in the 12-14” range, on a mixture of dries and nymphs. Deer Hair Emerger, Para Adams and Copper John all took fish.

1 accidental out of season Grayling quicky returned, caught a on a size 14 Wulff fly . Another hooked but not landed and 3 or 4 more takes missed. Glorious day on the water

Complete cloud cover,12 degrees and a down stream wind. Not a good start to my season! The only trout seen decided to take the black ptn on the dropper just as the point fly lodged itself on a rock at the bottom of the river. It thrashed about in a buttery yellow sort of way then threw the hook and swam off! Ah well next time....

Reservoir very full, right back to the steep banking beneath the path, which limited safe access to the waters edge to only a couple of spots from the path, and impossible to circumnavigate to the opposite side, as I would normally do. A few fish rising but nothing interested in what i had to offer: wet, dry, nymph, blobs etc on #8 floating and slow sink. Erratic cold wind but, as usual, marvellously quiet and peaceful. Tripped in the water, landed on a wee river fly rod I hadn’t had out of the tube for years, broke it, filled my waders and got cold wet feet!! But hey, great to be out playing again.
