Excellent beat! Loads of fish rising. Used small mayfly, hares ear parachute. Rained on and off all day but despite that loads of activity. Some really big trout! up to 50cm
great day but wet!

River up a bit, beat a good hight and not too much colour after yesterdays rain. Fished down with the fly expecting a pull with every cast but no salmon seen or touched. One Shad from Bridge Pool, nice to know there in the river again.

Perfect river conditions but cold and raining. Beautiful spot. 1 small trout landed and returned but had we been proper fishermen we would have caught more.

2 brown trout (1 approx 1.5 lb and 1 approx 0.5 lb), both caught on dry GRHE size 16. Lost several other fish which took a Light Cahill dry size 12, which were rising to a pronounced hatch of what appeared to be Yellow May duns. Very enjoyable sport, despite the drizzle for much of the day.

Water still cold with rain showers and not many fish rising, caught 3 on Black Pennel & Bibio just under the surface.

First time on this beat, although it was obvious after 24 hours of rain that the water level was up and pushing through just that bit too much. Plenty of nice looking runs but difficult to fish the boiling water properly. Eventually fished back to the starting point where the water was a little steadier in the large pool at the top of the gravel bar. Here were one or two rises that revived hope. Fishing a klinkhammer resulted in just one trout of 10 inches followed by a smaller one that got off. Three out of season grayling also caught, largest 13 inches. Very satifying end to the day considering I thought I would blank.

Guided by Oliver Burch. 4 brown trout, 6cm - 10cm. Dry fly (mayfly/deer hair emerger). Water quite clear, rainy day.

Only fished for a couple of hours and it was cold and windy. Very few fish showing.

plenty of fly life on this lovely piece of water but few rising fish. water was quite low but had a strange milky tinge. two trout caught on ptn and Adams dry fly. Great day and I would fish it again. Extension of beat is very useful especially 200 yard stretch below top weir.

2 x trout 6-7 inches, Deer Hair Emerger. A tough session on a cool, windy morning with rain on the way, water low and clear. Very little hatching and no natural rises. I was rather hoping for may fly, which can make this stream very special, but none seen by the time I had to leave.
