Feedback & Reports

Really tough, a few fish rising to dry flies throughout the day. Managed one on a foam dun, and lost a couple on a hawthorn pattern. Stalked a decent fish in the margins on a streamer however, shook the hook. Will be back later this season.

1 Trout

8 small brown trout landed, of 10 hooked. All on nymphs fished tight line (euro) technique.

8 Trout

Black parachute fly on 7.5’ leader. Good conditions on the water. Too many kids swimming for most of the stretch so limited area to fish

Saw fish, both Trout and Salmonoids, but no takes. Had a few knocks on dry flies. River very low and hot weather meant a lot of swimmer (humans and dogs). Also had SUP boarders and inflatable boats to contend with.

Caught only 3 and released. Dogs everywhere in water at upper half section of the beat, couldn’t fish whole beat because of people throwing sticks, balls and the dogs in the water of course. Not a good day for fishing .

Lots of dogs splashing, few fish rising, no takes

Mainly fished the upper stretch by the pub where fish were rising to intermittent hatches all afternoon. Two were taken on small black klinkhamer and one on a ptn fished New Zealand/duo style. Many others risen and another good fish broke tippet.

Had both a trout and salmon ticket river way too low for salmon so didn’t fish for them.
