Feedback & Reports

Lovely beat but unfortunately the storm had washed too much colour into the river to have a good day - abandoned after a couple of hours with a blank.

New years day - washed out! Tried fishing a few of the pools, but water v high, very coloured, nothing doing.

Booked this in the hope of getting some fishing in over the holiday period, however it was unfortunately a wash-off - river was high, fast & coloured. Lovely setting, look forward to trying it in more suitable weather.

Washed off

River level was up over the depth gauge and was pulling through too quickly to really give us a chance. Having driven for 90 minutes to get there and being unfamiliar with the water we felt there was no option other than to give it a go. We flogged it from dawn till dusk and had one small trout just before the end of the day. Very disappointing fishing but at least it was sunny and did not rain.

A beautiful day on the river; snow on the mountains, blue sky and bright sun (too bright). Unfortunately no fish caught. The river was high following heavy rain 36 hours before and almost impossible to wade. Trotted maggots may have been more successful than nymphs but I didn't have any.

River swollen and coloured - estimate 7-8 feet up on normal levels though level dropped out slightly through the day. Frosty start but glorious sunshine later, fished 4 slackish areas for pike and barbel in hope rather than optimism. Lovely fishery very good access, excellent directions but nothing showing - packed up mid afternoon.

Tough day! River had risen over the past 12 hours, and with that came several periods where diesel wash off looked like it was washing through. Fished duo and french nymph, but alas no joy.
Beautiful beat though, with a huge variety of water over the 2/3 of a mile. Back in new years day.
Note - in summer, unless wading, the majority of the beat would be inaccessible.

Fished short morning and afternoon sessions. Nothing worked first session, but wonderful spot. Swans, Peregrine Falcon and a tame Robin. (Also Cormorant). In afternoon I tried several baits with no result. Swapped to cheese paste and bait taken on the drop first time. Chub 2lb 10oz. Great day, thanks.
