Feedback & Reports

River level getting low enough for significant amounts of weed to be showing, a flush through would be welcome. A warm sunny day with plenty of fly-life evident including some yellow mays, but no fish taking them off the surface, or just below for that matter. Weighted nymphs accounted for six trout and one cock grayling all from the faster, oxygenated water.

First time on this beat. The wading was a little trickier than expected, but manageable with my home-made wading staff. The river was low with little flow in sections. Plenty of hatches: olives and yellow may - although strangely enough, I took both fish on a Caddis Pattern.
1 x nine-inch brown trout (taken on peeping caddis jig)
1 x grayling. As it was OOS I put it back quickly without measuring. But it was a chunky beast. (taken on Klink Caddis Green)
Unforecast rain stopped play at 4 p.m. so I couldn't add to my tally, but I'm happy enough with this pair.

Note: If the chap from Cheltenham who shared the beat has lost a Grey's fishing reel case, I've picked it up and can post it, if he gets in touch.

We caught 3 trout (one of 14 inches)and 2 salmon parrs on the wet fly. The successful fly was the dark moorgame.

A beautiful day on a beautiful beat, cloudless skies and very warm, masses of fly life but mostly in spinner form, very few flies actually emerging today but I did see one Mayfly, one or two Large Brook Duns and a few other upswings and caddis but rising trout were few and far between and quite small. Nevertheless I persevered with dries and took 6 trout and missed/lost a few others too so it was a lovely day on the river.

3 small brownies. Had a few more good takes on dries.

Another cold start of the day. No flies seen, so forced to fish with long leader, an heavy nymph on the point and a selection of spiders. All fishes taken on the a small grey spider, size 14. Best fish, a pretty healthy BT around 2 pounds, safely released
