Feedback & Reports

Beautiful spot on a beautiful river. Weather obliged but fish didn't. Probably operator error. Will try again with about a foot less water.

Storm conditions. Unsafe to fish.

Hard going with overnight wind and rain, but was rewarded with two grayling’s in this stunning location. Both caught on olive nymphs. The added treat was seeing a salmon jumping approx 10-15 ft away, brilliant!

All on the dry - running double dry set up clinkhammer and caddis elk. Lots of honk and drying in between casts 6 x tippet - around 14ft leader tip to toe. Mainly lower beat downstream of riffles.

Excellent beat and very helpful syndicate. Well worth being a member !!!

No fish caught. Very bright sunny conditions. A lovely beat, should fit well in right conditions

Despite heavy rain during the previous night and the day of fishing, the river remained low and fishable. There are some great pools on this beat but it cannot be accessed fully from one parking position, unless you are willing to walk a long way on a slippery boulder & large stone bed. At higher water, you would definitely have to come from the bank and access from different locations. We fished the bridge and the pools above, on the bend. There were a variety of different size and colour olives around but the fish took small dark emergers and dry flies. Despite the weather being cold and damp, the fish did continue to rise for several hours. We stayed at the Highside campsite, which is only a few miles from the beat and close to Middleton in Teesdale. Small friendly site, excellent facilities. We will be back to the campsite & the beat.
