Feedback & Reports

River was pretty washed out from the rain before and through the day and running strong, making access a little tricky in some spots.

Water was completely muddy, with only a few inches visibility, and loads or debris.

Fishing the foam / debris line I had one surface take on a red tag.

The only productive method I found was to tight line nymph the edges of Eddy's and foam lines with bright fly's roza pink tag, pink shrimp, orange something, and at the end of the day a few on a squirminator.

Epic stretch of river would love to see it on a clearer day.

Lovely beat. Water low. But not as low as I thought it would be considering how dry it's been.

Another enjoyable days fishing with the black magic nymph doing the job. The remains of many crayfish were evident all along this beat, with reports of a mink being spotted around the river in Aymestry, I wonder if these are the culprits.

Water level relatively low. A lot of new plant growth proved a challenge to reach the river in places. Five Grayling brought to the net. Three caught upstream of the bridge and two below the bridge - Black Klinkhammer, Parachute Adams.
Beautiful location and a great day fishing shared with kingfishers, pheasants and yellow wagtails.
