Absolutely fantastic day out at one of my favorite beats to fish anywhere. Access is great, but without seeming overly maintained or manicured which I admire the owner for. There are different types of water to suit all types of flyfishing.

It was a bit of a tough go for the fishing. The weather has been really cold for the past 10 days or so and I couldn't manage to find the grayling. I landed two OOS brownies which were very lively and safely returned. I can't wait to come back during warmer weather.

Lovely day out in the water, weather was overcast and about 6C. 2 OOS trout from my first 5 casts just below the church on the slow water, both on size 18 silver ptn under dry as indicator. All grayling taken on same fly above the church upto the weir. Also spotted what I think was a salmon laying just above the rapids below church.

Didn't fish today.

Looked perfect. 0.675 cilmery and a hint of colour (previous day 0.338). Spent the day trotting the lower pools but not even a bite all day.

Stunning location, with very helpful and friendly advice provided. Spent 3 hours at the lower end of the beat and caught 2 wild brown trout (both safely released). Couldn't have asked for more!

We made an effort to arrive early as the weather looked like it might turn dodgy by early afternoon. River was low and clear but there were plenty of smaller fish rising down by the church. I left dad down there and went further up to try and cover as much water before the rain came without success. The rain came about 14:00 but was not as heavy as predicted and it seems to be that just before or just after rain showers is the best time to catch, and throughout the afternoon we managed 9 trout up to 15” and 2 oos grayling. Amazing amount of smaller fish which is good too see.
