Feedback & Reports

Both fish 11 to 12 inches on upstream nymph, lost a few others. A few Mayflies and Olives hatching but no consistent rise. Quite hard work but a beautiful day.

Arrived around 9:30 and had the first fish within five minutes. A few Yellow May Duns coming off and the odd Mayfly. No fish rising consistently though and had to wait until mid afternoon for the next fish. About 3:30pm the Mayfly had built up a little and the remaining fish all came within the next hour before things died off again. The early fish came to a Greenwells, the remainder to a size 10 Adams.

2 brown trout (1 approx 1.5 lb and 1 approx 0.5 lb), both caught on dry GRHE size 16. Lost several other fish which took a Light Cahill dry size 12, which were rising to a pronounced hatch of what appeared to be Yellow May duns. Very enjoyable sport, despite the drizzle for much of the day.

Guided by Oliver Burch. Nothing caught. Mainly on dries but very little rising.

Very nice condition 15" BT caught on dry (black sedge). Lots of hatches throughout afternoon but hardly a rise. Access improved but still quite limited.

First time for me at this beat. Good flow to the river but conditions very difficult (cold and windy) still managed 5 fish to dries (klinkhammers), one to pt nymph. Rising fish in pockets with a late afternoon hatch. Approx fish size 1 x 14-15 oz, 3 x 8-10oz 2x 4-6oz. Good fun so will be back again hopefully in more favourable conditions. Some good fish rising in some unreachable parts of the beat.

Nil return.
Beat fished by my companions, they were unhappy with access and general state of the river, lots of fallen trees.

10 trout caught from 7" to 9". Slow fishing with few fish rising.**A small patch Japanese knotgrass seen on this beat**

SM & PH tempted 9 WBT using PTN fished deep. When fish started rising, spiders and CDC emergers proved successful. River coloured from heavy rain a few days prior and running fast. Access is difficult along much of this beat and quite hazardous in some areas.
