Feedback & Reports

Arrived to a lovely looking river, but -4 degrees. Fished for chub and caught 4 roving on meat. A good day considering temperature.
On the down side I was sickened to see 6 dead Swans and 1 Canadian geese! The only thing I can think of killing them must be Otters.
FISHING PASSPORT NOTE: If you come across dead waterfowl please report it to Defra as soon as you can on 03459 335577. This was potentially a case of avian flu, which has struck poultry in the Ross area recently.

Water down a few inches on Sunday's level and quite clear. Other than a couple of touches in the upper part of the beat, not much fish activity.

Very cold day, river clear apart from deepest holes. Caught one out of season brown trout on a nymph and one grayling about 16 inches on a beaded nymph. Nothing rising.

19 x grayling 6-14 inches, mostly in the 10-12 inch range, 2 x out of season trout 11-12 inches, long distance trotting. Bright sun and a hard ground frost this morning, dull later.

A bit to muddy for me

First time on this beat and below freezing when I arrived but the sum was on it's way up so a good day was in prospect. I fished beaded nymphs under an indicator and had a couple of fish from the tail of a pool at the lower end of the beat. Nothing further until later in the afternoon when another pool towards the top end yielded another 7 grayling including a beautiful specimen that measured 18" and easily my personal best. I'll be going back for sure!
