Feedback & Reports

Fished 9:30am to 5:30pm. Cold start +3C. Nothing rising so fished the rocky pools at the top and under the trees and along the edges with nymphs, down and across. No takes. There was a good hatch of BWO from midday and spinners from around 5:00pm. At 4:00pm the trout started rising to micro flies. Scaled down to various size 22 flies with 1.0mm tippet but could not get any takes. Nice day out in some glorious weather but super frustrating.

Fished 12-9pm. Sporadic rises early afternoon and fish extremely wary. Long stretches of the river very shallow and seemed mostly devoid of activity. Found some groups of fish in some deeper glides under trees and the river came alive from 6pm onwards. Hatches of blue winged olive and some brook dun. Fish seemed to be mostly taking small stuff / emergers, but tempted several on small cdc Emerger patterns.

Conditions seemed perfect, over cast and still but nobody told the fish. Foul hooked two trout on a nymph which I would think qualifies as trawling rather than fishing. Zero hatches or surface activity. Perhaps the evening was more productive

Beautiful beat

On the evening ticket - fish mainly feeding on midge but found some fish under trees who took something more substantial.

Plenty of water in river but summer conditions have made fishing difficult. Lots of light tugs but just 4 fish by end of day. One of 14” on a klinkhammer. Fish were really starting to rise above the bridge around 8 pm but I had to go!
Beautiful place to fish

Baking hot day. Managed 1 in the pool below the bridge, otherwise blank. No wind, very clear water. Moved a few fish that we down deep in the channels but sadly didn't connect.

Lovely long beat with plenty of variety and will return.
