Feedback & Reports

All fish released from barbless hooks. Raining heavily on and off most of day but fish free rising to a steady stream of olives from late morning onwards. 3 fish on copper john nymph but remainder on dry fly. 3 best fish all about 2lb and only 2 were under 1/2 pound with the remaining 13 1-1.5lb. excellent sport. One fish of about a pound had healed gashes on both flanks from (I suspect) goosander or cormorant. Neither bird seen on this occasion though.

Maurice Hudson caught a fresh 15 lb fish.
Andrew Holloway caught a sea liced 18 lb fish. Both fish took a spinner. Tried with the fly, but the water has grey tinge.

With the prospect of heavy rain in the afternoon, I started mid morning. Fished with a black gnat, tied klinkhammer style, and a parachute adams. Took 3 fish but raised many more that came short of the fly.
Those fish that were rising came to the fly, but only once, after which they moved on.

A VERY WET day! A beautiful setting, but no fish activity. A lot of swallows "hoovering up" flies, but no trout rises. We'll try again with better weather!

Two trout , the biggest just under a pound and a half and one out of season grayling.
A day of lots of missed chances and one very good fish lost. Fish were moving throughout the day mainly in the faster water - all the fish taken and missed were to a variety of dry flies.

2 Trout, 1 Grayling

Weather was awful, 10 degrees and rained all day. The river had risen slightly the night before so the water was carrying some colour. Not a great day for a hatch, but a few flies tried their best. Nothing much showing so the fishing was limited to exploring with nymphs. 2 trout finally obliged, the best was just over 1lb.
