Feedback & Reports

The river looked like it was fining down as there was some colour on. Nothing rising in the morning but one rose just above the weir at Midday, which obliged first cast.
Moved upstream through the metal gate about 250 yards upstream, fought through the undergrowth and stood mid river casting upstream to an overhanging willow. A struggling Mayfly was swallowed by a Trout, which subsequently came to the net, followed by another shortly afterwards.
I walked to the top of the beat but literally could not find another viable access point to the river because of chest high weed growth but more importantly the electric fence was switched on(I checked, ouch!) despite there being no livestock present, and upstream of the electric fence, 4 rows of wire, the top 2 of which were barbed. Note that I couldn’t figure out an easy way to get to the other side of the river.
In summary a lovely day in 22 degree sunshine, 3 10 inch WBT, the day only marred by a lack of access to the majority of the beat.
All 3 taken on a Mayfly Emerger.
I took some pictures but can’t see how to paste/upload them?

Could not fish due to colour of river, I was there at 6-30am

After Mondays results was looking forward to another bash at the fish who were in a taking mood. Up early and was at the river 5-30am . What a disappointment didn't see this coming where has it come from ? I don't think it is a natural flood colour any information might help. Did not fish

Sunny calm day. River looking gorgeous as were 2 young ladies who decided to strip off for a dip just upstream of us !! Keen to rebook in hot weather only !
Aside from the distractions, only one 1.5lb brownie caught in the pool above the mill. Perhaps they were distracted too.
