Feedback & Reports

5 trout caught of 12 to 15 inches, and 5 more lost including (of course) a big one. Interesting beat with varied and good-looking habitat, only marred a bit by difficult access through trees and numerous electric fences. Some big fish visible, for sight-fishing, right under the high bank. Two fish caught on size 16 PTN during day; good rise (what on? a size 14 Klinkhamer olive worked) and most of the hook-ups from about 7 to 9.30 pm.

Despite overnight rain, no significant increase in water height. Weather dry and sunny with SE wind. No fish rising during day ( fished 11am - 4 pm). A couple of nervous takes to GRHE. One small fish returned. Hard work!

Slow start, but found rising fish from around 11:00. Wind made it tricky but some great sport in the end with a couple of 2 lb'ers included. Most fish caught on dries - some on nymphs fished just beneath the surface

Spent a few hours on this beat . Plenty of flies coming off, but only saw a few rises to them, and failed to connect with any. Fished upstream wet fly first, then a mixture of PTN, wet and dry. River was very low. Kept away from the lower part of the beat by a pair of very territorial swans.

25cm brown trout caught in glide on a Hare & Copper. Plenty activity including rises in top section of beat, though there is dense bank side vegetation making it difficult to reach.

First time on this beat. River was running low and clear. 2 Trout taken on a dry (Royal Wulff) in shallow water around mid day. One measured 19" the other 15". Fish were also taking nymphs in the faster water.
