Feedback & Reports

Nice height (40cm) and milder that recent days. A lovely, diverse and very long beat. Missed a few chances, including a frustating loss when the dropper caught on a lump of wood whilst playing a big grayling. I saw the fish shake out the barbless hook before I had to break off which was a relief. Only one fish brought to hand, a lovely fish that was around the 2lb mark by Guy. All the activity was from 12-2 as a hatch of chironomids developed (a fish even rose!) Either side of that you wouldn't believe there was a fish in the river.

All the action was in the steadier 3-5ft deep bits with klink and dink; czech nymphing the holes and faster water produced nothing.

Water low and clear sky to start. Most activity I’ve seen on this beat mainly by the Cledan and the cliffs. Numerous rises and knocks on dries but failed to connect. An evil downstream wind turned the air blue around lunchtime and failed to disappear for a few hours despite a power nap. Such a peaceful beat.

Nothing doing- water was low, very bright. Beautiful day out though.

Very low and extremely clear. Nice looking water, but no signs of life.

A really, really, beautiful stretch of river - some of the prettiest river I've seen on the WUF Passport, and maybe it's a good trout beat in the summer.
Two of us, both competent grayling anglers, fished hard from 11-3 today and didn't have so much as a tap, we didn't see a single fish. A quick look back through recent catch reports during grayling season suggests a low stock of fish.
Gorgeous water, I not sure I'd go back again though.

Blank for me today, I'm afraid. Lyn Davies fishing the other rod had two nice grayling. Incidentally, the allocated car parking here is a morass of mud at the moment.

First visit to this very pretty beat. Quite a lot of ‘skinny’ water and not many deep pools which made for challenging fishing, especially with the crystal clear water. I managed 2 lovely grayling, both just under 40cm - they are there! Parking is close to the fishing but the designated area was very, very muddy.

Bit of a short notice plan to fish, didn’t catch but lovely spot

Only fished for a couple of hours in the upper sections of the beat. River looked perfect but I couldn't find the grayling. They are there though. One oos brown of about a pound. Hope Rich the other chap booked in did better!
