Feedback & Reports

1 x Brown trout 1/2lbs. Excellent beat, wish i'd had more time!

6 small bt, all under 1/2 lb. Caught on black pennel and grouse and claret. Rises quietened from mid-afternoon onwards. All returned

One! Splendid brown, on klinkhammer just above the starting point bridge, 3/4lb ish. Nothing else, farmer driving loader shovel across river several times upstream coloured water so had to finish. Great day though!

Just thought that I would let you know how I did today. Lots of grannom and a few LDOs and gnats. Water 11 dec C so getting warmer! Had about 20 fish - 2/3 trout and the rest grayling of which the best was about 33 cm. None of the trout very sizable but let's hope they are left to grow!

One on a PTN, one on a hare's ear emerger and the rest on grannom pupa patterns with the vast majority taking the para emerger.

A fantastic day. 10 brown trout caught, many more lost. Grannom hatch. Fish taken in fast runs with size 14 klinkhammer.

Caught four very Feisty browns about 8oz on dries in the bridge pool in the morning. Caught two on a green beaded shrimp in the fast run below, one about 12 oz the other about a 1lb.

Thanks Wendy and Allyson for your help.

One lb Brown trout caught on green and black snatcher type fly on floating line just before first bend up from the bridge. No surface activity at present. Caught alot of Parr also. Care should be taken if wading just past first bend up from the bridge, very deep mud -easy to get stuck in...suggest walking on left hand bank for a while to avoid the mud!

Two lovely wildies 16" and 17" returned. Olive klink and GRHE nymph. Lots of grannom through middle of the day plus LDOs and Turkey Browns, despite dull weather.

We fished from around 10am through until 4pm. Small rise to LDOs around 12pm - 12.20pm. River low and cool which did not help the fishing. Nonetheless, we still caught a magnificent 2lb brown on a size 16 PTN fished behind a CDC Olive.

Lots of wildlife seen.

6 out of season grayling including one I estimate to be 2.5lb plus and an 8 inch trout. The wife managed 3 grayling. I thought I was in for a good day when I got the big graying after about 5 minutes of fishing but all in all it was slow day. Not a lot happening on the surface with just the odd fish showing. Had a small hatch of B-W-O's but no fish interested. Had all fish on gold heads although I did several attempts at my grey Klinkhammer.

River in fine condition and managed to fish pools I couldn't get too when I was down last July! I'll be back...
