Feedback & Reports

Bugeilyn fished well on Saturday morning, I had 8 fish to just over half a pound until I left at 11am. Temperature was about 12 degrees with a gusty wind, so only the right bank was really fishable. I was using a gold bead bibio on the point to fish a little deeper, then a B&P spider on the dropper and claret dabbler on the bob. Fish came to all three, with the latter taking the majority. Lots and lots of takes and lost a few fish as well, they're quite hard to hook properly, all fish returned.

Just had the most exciting morning fishing Wyebank - went out early, no signs, went back 9 and after 9.30 had a 10 pounder bottom pool and as I was playing it a fish porpoised and for the next 10 minutes or so fish like peas in a pod were porpoising through with one significant prince/princess amongst them which actually looked like a porpoise! Had another 10lb fish after they had passed and then a hook pull on another. Only fished the one pool for a couple of hours in all and then went back again midday fished the Wyebank run and lost another. size 8 black and yellow pinched barbs. Needless to say fresh fish in superb condition. Not a canoe to be seen all morning, brilliant, perfect level and clear with strong running water. Summer level.

Fished from 10 til 4 today and had some good fun on a #14 para Adams. Lots of fly life including a few mayfly starting to appear. All fish in good condition including the clonker which took off like a train and managed to wriggle himself off the barbless hook. Would of liked to get a good look at that one but never mind, I know where he lives.....

Rain previous day in mountains. Muddy. No catches.

lovely to fish the escley running with some water and pace. most fish came to size 20 f -fly and size 18 cdc olive. sizes were on average 10-12 inches with 2 at 14 and one belter caught in a deep pool of 16 inches .there was a brief hatch of mayfly which lasted 20 minutes , not in huge numbers, a few fish in one pool locked onto them so tied size 14 mayfly and brought them to hand. all fished released back to their lairs.
