Feedback & Reports

Conditions seemed good for the time of year but no fish showing. Hooked up with a few fish on heavy nymphs in the faster water and got 2 to the net which were returned in good condition.

Arrived at 5pm and a few rises around the upper bridge pool. Stayed until 7pm and had to depart.
A stunning beat with lots of options.
Tried olive emerger, Perdigon nymph and nothing happening for me. I will return. Highly recommended.

Incredible piece of water and the fishing was outstanding. Will be back to this beat at some point. All of us on the beat pulled out double numbers in a morning session until around Lunch time. Early morning on the dry and later on were all on nymph.

Fished from 08:00-14:00. Three anglers fished today and split the water evenly.

Fishing was slower early on in the shaded sections (possibly now insect activity because of cooler temps). Took fish on dry and dropper rigs throughout the day (the odd double nymph when the water was deep enough).

Fish responded well to shuttle-cock style dries (emergers) and natural cdc collar nymphs. 2.5mm beads worked well.

Average size was about 18cm. Some larger fish (25-35cm) taken but no real brutes this time.

Very tough days fishing with the weather bright, warm and clear. Rainfall the night before had risen the water level by a good few inches which peaked at midday and then slowly started to drop again. A dry dropper was used for most of the day but a streamer did produce a couple knocks. In the end just as the light was fading in the upper section of the beat I tempted a nice little brownie on a hairs ear nymph

Fished a dry dropper all day. Most successful nymph was the size 18 black micro nymph with a small tail. Had loads of hookups but they won in the fight's. Ended up netting 2 beautiful half pound brown trout
