4 rods caught 26 small Brown Trout upto 8 inch size, the pool just below Penpont bridge proving very productive.

Not one of my best days. River very low and conditions bright sun all day. Managed to winkle out 3 trout from under trees tight up against the bank. Not much rising all day suprisingly. One about a pound and two about 4oz.
Must remember not to pick half term week again. Kids at the bottom of the stretch and playing in the river in a pool half way up the stretch.

Half a dozen small fish on a mixture of nymphs and klinkhammers. Late in the afternoon a fish of well over 2 lbs from the Salmon Pool on a size 14 olive klinkhammer.

7 Brown Trout, all over 3/4 lb, the largest 2.5lb... taken on spider patterns and a bead head pheasant tail fished upstream, dead drfit through the deep gutters at the top end of the beat.

Great days fishing, thanks.

Very quiet day. Lots of mayfly, but no hatch or rise throughout the day. Water level very low - below the summer flow mark on the gauge.

No fish caught - 28c temperature!

7 brown trout, 16 black klinkhammer. no real hatch

Had a great day at Penpont. Arrived about 10am to good weather conditions. Started at the bottom with some nymphs but soon fish were rising so changed to the dry.

Had 15-20 takes, 4-5 hook ups, 3 snap offs but amazingly, zero to hand!!!! --- Just not quick enough for those turbocharged Penpont brownies....

This is a great beat with plenty of variety, I will hopefully be back soon.

1 WBT to the net, around 1lb. Taken on #16 parachute adams. Fished the duo most of the day in the rougher water. Missed plenty of takes. Hooked up with a very sizeable specimen at the lower end of the beat, which took off upstream and bent my hook out of shape as it freed itself. Good day and plenty of fly life - well worth a visit.

Lovely beat but cold downstream wind made fishing difficult. A few fish rising when the sun came out. Caught (& returned) one 16 inch trout, on a march brown.
