Feedback & Reports

River very low and clear with little surface activity until the last hour of daylight when there was a mixed hatch. Would concur with other comments on difficulty of access to much of the stretch at this time of the year.

Water very low and quiet. All rises were worth pursuing and seemed more vigorous towards the later afternoon. 1 trout on a spider.

Lovely beat , challenging fishing in low conditions . Two trout caught on dries , lost a better one . Highlight was watching two otters playing in the bottom pool . I Chased off three poachers with spinning gear !

Finally broke my duck on my nemesis beat with two trout on dries in faster water mid afternoon. Lovely spot but could do with better access to the lower end of the beat

Sunny, warm and very low water. Occasional fish showing but lack of flow made it impossible (for me) to present a fly well.
In the afternoon , despite the river being on its bones, a canoeist 'paddled' in front of me - scraping across rocks with his paddle hitting the river bed. Unbelievable really.
I asked him what he was thinking but needless to say he didn't respond particularly well.

Fished 13.00 to 17.00. River very slow and low. With just a few spinners here and there it was extremely quiet. Next to nothing rising so fished prospective dries in likely creases and seams where there was some current. Hooked and lost one BT and missed another. Increasing spells of sunshine made for a warm and pleasant afternoon on the river even if it was dead and unproductive.

River very low. Very warm and sunny.
At times plenty of rising fish but mostly unable to figure out what they were taking . One fish hooked and lost on a black emerger

River low but overhead conditions perfect. Few fish rising through the day and all taken on the dry. Nothing big.
