We had a fantastic day on the river, despite no fish touched. With blazing sunshine and no fresh water for weeks we had managed expectations heading into the day, but what a glorious spot to spend the day casting and enjoying the weather!
We fished scandi shooting heads + intermediate tips with dressed flies (Alley Shrimp, Cascade and Silver Stoat) on the top pools and had a few casts of the spinner on the bottom section but no takers. Thanks to the crystal clear water several fish were spotted holding tight on the bottom.
We were superbly looked after by the gillie Nathan, and will absolutely be coming back.

Started fairly late in the day and fished through to sunset. Fished various nymphs in the fast water and dries on the flats. Unfortunately no fish caught but a fair amount of rises in the late evening. A small hatch of brook dunn at sunset.

Seen numerous young brown trout and including three eels within the shallows.

An astonishing day; clear blue skies, fantastic scenery and plenty of hungry fish, periodically rising throughout the day.
All taken on dry flies.

Beautiful beat and a wonderfully enjoyable days fishing.

Beautiful location, easy enough to find. The weather was hot and sunny with clear skies after a cold night. Not always an omen for a good day.

The water was the colour of builders tea when we arrived, with numerous smaller carp of around 3-6lb heads down sifting through the mud at the car park end of the lake, unfortunately none of them were remotely interested in our baits and after a good hour of trying it was clear we needed to try elsewhere. We continued down the lake and set up near the oak tree, sadly that end of the lake was a similar colour and no carp where seen all day, none cruising, no leaping fish, nothing at all. My brother managed some silvers on float and feeder tackle but the carp never made an appearance. A beautiful venue, but if there are carp in here they didn't want to play today.
