Arrived at the beat at 1pm and met by the owner who was very helpful. Managed 8 fish to a dry para Adams before the river rose and coloured up at 4.30pm and cut short my day. I was looking forward to the evening rise. Never mind, that's fishing for you!

Super day - good rise at 4pm onwards. Plenty of good fish moving. All fish returned.

Just an evening ticket. A lovely beat, water slightly cloudy after recent rain. Access was OK despite an electric fence and the enclosed herd of cattle. (Electric fence proved not to be on, after persuading my wife to test it!) Fish rising on the Ashford bend and then much later on Blockhouse where access is trickier. Fish taking dries, Grey Wulff and small Klinkhammers and later small beadhead pheasant tailed nymph, all barbless. Caught a couple and lost at least a dozen, I found it hard to make them stick in the faster water and most takes were on the far bank.....excuses. Hope to return

Evening - 3 fish to 14 inches. A few rises to something like a smut; tiny Klinkhamer size 18 worked a bit. Then a decent rise possibly to small sedges at about 9pm, hard to imitate.

1 small trout parr on nymph. Missed two on the dry, hardly anything rising even in the evening. Green algae everywhere the river is really in a terrible state. £40 for a day ticket is pushing it. Better water out there for a lot less.
