Plenty of fly life but very few fish seen rising, fish were taken from pools on nymphs, lovely place to be.

Approx 2 hours dry fly during early evening. Occasional rises despite abundant insect life.

Lovely warm summers evening. Just fished for a few hours late in the day. Large hatch of mayfly and several fish rising. Missed several and lost a few flies in the bushes. Caught a small brown trout and a beautiful grayling.
Wonderful and magical stretch of river. Waders a must.

Lovely beat & fantastic scenery but caught the river slightly up but coloured with visibility about 12 inches . contacted one or two and was broken by something decent . Banks mainly wooded making access difficult and with the river coloured was not confident on wading to deep for our first visit. lots of otter signs, no rising fish on our day due to no fly hatches = no fish.

Arrived at lunchtime after a spur of the moment decision to go fishing after seeing the glorious Spring sunshine in the morning. The river was more full than up and carrying a nice turquoise tint, the sun was still shining although it was to become a little duller as the day went on with a temp. of 10C. While the sun was shining there were a few Olives coming off so I desperately searched for a rising fish or two but sadly saw no surface activity all the while I was there, wanting to put a bend in my rod I opted to fish the deeper pools with weighted nymphs. I took two nice oos Grayling, one 15 inches and a small trout. By now it was duller and colder and the little bit of fly life that had been present earlier in the afternoon had now disappeared, I was getting hungry too so packed up and made my way home. This is a glorious place to be and I shall be back when it's a bit warmer, even if I did rip my waders again on the barbed wire!

River levels were about right with good colour. Surprisingly not a sniff. Did see an otter though.

This is commando fishing fighting with the vegetation but fun none the less.

The river was is surprisingly good condition when you consider the storm we had on Sunday night. Although, unfortunately it didn't fish that well with just one take all day during the driving afternoon rain. The fish took a gold head olive and slipped the hook after just a few seconds but the surroundings and wildlife more than made up for the poor weather and nil catch return.
