Feedback & Reports

4 WBT to 30cm caught on PTN, para adams and GRHE. Camped by the bridge on the previous night and caught the first fish there shortly after stepping into my waders.

4 trout caught (largest about 30cm) and 3 lost. 2 on PTN Variant fished duo, 1 on parachute adams and 1 on x-caddis. Fishing blind with a dry in likeley spots produced plenty of rises. Thanks to Simon at WUF for suggesting I fish despite the river recovering from the wash-off of the previous day.

One fish of 8 oz caught on a size 18 olive Klinkhammer, no fish were taken. Wind gusts killed off a sporadic rise in the evening.

25 trout and a few salmon parr. Lovely beat but very little fly life or surface activity today. Lost a really good trout after a long fight which I estimated at 3lb plus.
Most fish taken on double nymph and French Leader & the duo although some taken on dry. All fish fighting wildies. Most fish took the point fly, a JT flashback nymph.

WUF service excellent and most helpful.

River very high and pretty unfishable with no real pools or features visible. Wading difficult due to flow. Some colour in the water. Caught one very small brown trout at the downstream end of the beat close to bank in a slower section. About 6 inches long. Seemed v healthy. Caught on Shuttlecock Buzzer. Heard a couple of fish leaping.

Penpont - high water, running off, 14 fish between the four of us, biggest BT at about 14", would have been good next day!!
Great time had by all, cant wait for the next time.

Arrived on the water at 16.00 for the evening rise, again it was very good. 3 wbt until 18.30 then it went mad after that until 21.45. Finished with 14 wbt biggest at 16ins, most at 10-12 inches all on a alight tan sedge. Most fantastic evenings sport with most fish coming from abve the bridge. STEPHEN YOU MUST STOP THE RAIN DANCE NOW !

Arrived around 1pm had several small fish around 6 inches. beat started to come alive around 6ish missed several better fish on the dry and several to a PTN. Wish I could of stayed longer as I think there could have been some good sport.

Cold until lunchtime with strong gusty winds and sharp showers, more like April than July. The water was somewhat coloured. I fished from 10am - 3pm and only caught 3/4 small fish 6 inches. Very few rises seen during this time although I did see a few mayfly!

Fished from 4:15. With occasional rising fish decided to fish dry. Caught two WBT to 0.5 lbs on CDC Olive emerger and micro midge patterns. Both fish returned. Failed to bring several others to hand.
