Feedback & Reports

River very coloured after over night rain but did manage a fish of about a pound on a tungsten headed nymph and a couple more on and off. Lovely stretch of river but unfortunately poor conditions.
PS: Lost my trusted Rohan Pilkington hat down river so on the off chance anyone finds it would very much appreciate its return.

Warm, light wind and a few fish rising. Steady takes through the day. 5 on nymphs and 2 on emerger pattern. All 11-13inches with one smaller fish. Lovely day, many thanks to the WUF office for advice yesterday.

4 good trout to 14" caught. Lovely stretch of river but wading tricky.

Fished nymph and caught 4 good fish up to 17". Used pink tag and peeping caddis, hard going but plenty of features. Lovely river but wadding very tricky, especially for Dad. Thank you.

Biggest fish 1lb. All fish caught on dry fly klinkhammer.
There was not much fly life a bit to cold. It's a lovely place to fish.
All fish returned safety.

Fly fishing on nymph, brown trout. Good river condition, very clear.

Fishing made very difficult due to high winds; spent the day casting backwards! Still, always a pleasure to fish this lovely stretch of water. Will be back (again).

First time either of us had fished a River for Trout, so our Zero Scorecard says more about us than the River which met or surpassed our expectations. Excellent water quality and what looked like the perfect level; The Passport description is very accurate, especially where it says, "Wading medium to difficult". Chest Waders are a must although I did manage with Waist waders even though some fine looking Pools were out of my reach.
Temperature rose steadily through the morning, after a cold night, with the sun strong enough to colour my neck! A superb hatch of March Browns occurred around 12.30 and again about an hour later but even that didn't seem to get the Fish rising, despite having various artificial MB's in my box.

Overcast, slight wind - ideal conditions. Minimal fly life all day, except around 2pm, when some hatching at the upper end of the beat where I caught 6 inches, 8 inches and 12 inches on Adams - all released. No fish moved before or after.
