Feedback & Reports

Excellent day, (thanks to the WUF person who recommended this beat - I should have got your name) this was a great beat with some lovely pools in beautiful surroundings. We had 10 WBT, best were 3 to around 1 1/2 lbs. We also spotted and cast to a few of over 2 lbs. The day was more like an April day with sun, clouds and showers, but consistently very windy. The upper wooded section tucked down in a valley provided respite from the wind, and was great to fish. A great day on the river.

River in excellent shape - falling and clearing. Caught a specimen brown trout of 3 1/2 lbs on a size 10 single hook cascade (returned). Thought it was a salmon... Lots of fly life into the evening, so put on a scruffy klink - and caught and lost a handful of fine trout.

Nothing to report.

Plenty of flies coming off but no sign of any fish.

A very cold and windy day, so difficult to cast successfully! We saw no fish, but enjoyed the scenery. A local dog walker told us that there is a brood of nine Goosander chicks upstream from the stone bridge at the first access point to the river....

3 brown trout, biggest 3/4lb. Very windy day, all caught on spinner.

2 Trout, 1 Grayling

A very windy day made for difficult conditions with little fly life showing. Having said that only 1 came to a nymph, the most successful fly - a size 14 black Klink. Best fish 18in with 2 at 16in.
The one that got away, a very big fish, after giving a right old run around dissapeared under the road bridge into the next beat, sorry about that.
