Feedback & Reports

Only managed to fish a couple of hours in the middle of the day. Leave a bit of time to allow for walk down to the start of the beat. Once there I found plenty of insect life but nothing in the way of fish moving during my visit. Low trees make some of the fishing tricky and fallen trees across the river make progress along the beat a bit difficult at times. That said, it was an enjoyable visit.

arrived at ten and water was pushing with a little colour so opted single 2.5mm tungsten nymph . all trout were between 6-10 inches with none of the larger fish making an appearance . sadly as could be expected after the lull in the weather and wind coming from a north easterly hatches were non existant. in the few hours there only one rise spotted. temperature was 5 degrees at start and only eight when i left , with the water still feeling cold. nice to be back on the beat and hoping the weather picks up soon.

20 Trout, 2 Grayling

1 x 6" Grayling on a gold head hares ear nymph. Lots of tree cover makes very difficult fishing 6'5" rod needed.

1 Grayling

Visited this beat today but the river level was too low to be really fishable so only stayed less than 1 hour. I tried two pools without any sign of fish.

Could not fish the river because of obstacles in the river and could not go up the banks at these points because it was too over grown.

WUF Note: Thank you for the feedback, we are looking into this now and will get back to you.

Early start before it gets to HOT for me not the fish, 5 wbt to 8" some parts of the river very hard to get at , I need more skill and patience

Water levels low and and water clear. Even so surprisingly few fish rising in a steady mayfly hatch. Recent habitat improvement has made casting easier but speculation in many holes and riffles failed to yield the expected rise. Never mind it's still one of my favourite beats

4 Trout

Good 3 hour session plenty of fish rising. There were a lot flies including May Flies, Black Gnats and spinners. I landed 2 fish and lost 2 more on a wally wing May Fly.
