Feedback & Reports

Heavy overnight rain resulted in an 18" rise to the water levels but I still made the 1hr 15 drive in the hope that it was fishable. To my surprise, the river was 'OK' for 3 hours before it rose again and turned quite brown. I managed to take a few trout and grayling using spiders and nymphs in the more oxygenated water. A very pretty beat which lots of fishing – if you're willing to work hard and cope with some dodgy wading situations. As mentioned in the beat instructions, please take great care when entering/leaving the carpark – the blind crest just before the entrance is very dangerous with the A470 being so busy and fast!

7 Trout, 2 Grayling

Some good sport fishing from 5 until sun down. Most taken using wet fly tactics (thanks to a fellow angler I met the day before for gifting me a team of wet flies - rescuing my days fishing - very kind). I also had some fun with a dry iron dun during the last hour.
Bizarrely witnessed a mayfly hatch! Although didn’t seem to draw any interest.

My son had a great afternoon catching his first wild trout! Taken on an adams klink. Returned safely.

Most came to team of wet flies (Peter Ross, Dunkeld, Invicta). Evening rise to pale watery.
Only one of us fished in the end

9 Trout, 2 Grayling

Two grayling caught on weighted shrimp in late afternoon both in good condition and released in the water. Weather variable with thunder, rain and wind. A big thank you to the other fisherman on the beat who gifted three wet flies he enjoyed success with during the day. Looking forward to trying these on Thursday.

2 Grayling

An enjoyable 2 hours at the end of the day. Trout rising but sporadically making targeting tricky. Two small and healthy brown trout caught and released without contact. Both taken on adams dry size 14.

No luck today. River down and water clear. No Salmon seen.

Quite a quiet day Trout wise. As we came away, just before 5pm, we saw a rise starting. Weather dry and with sunny intervals and little wind, almost perfect conditions but no luck.
