Feedback & Reports

Alternate sunny & cloudy conditions ; more sun PM & evening.
No significant fly hatch am to mid afternoon.
Dry fly only - midge types.
Nil return but lost 2 fish ( insufficiently hooked not broken tackle).

Conditions were bright, warm and sunny. There was a little more water in the river than the last time we fished which was the same time last year. Still, the fishing was really hard going with very little in the way of rising fish. All fish caught were cast to and caught on either cdc emerger, parachutes or sedge. No discernible evening rise even though there was plenty of insect life to be seen.

Very little action during the day. Except for one pool where I caught one 4" trout and lost another.
Later in the evening, there was a good hatch of several upwing species. Trout were splashy takes with a small mayfly imitation. I had a few missed takes from fish which then spooked the pool for a few minutes. I used a Humpy early on and a small Grey Wulff later. The chub (and I lost a few) were supping, taking emergers. The later it got the more fished that showed, peaking about 8:15pm.
All in all a good day with low water.

Lovely day, not too sunny. Water a little coloured which made wading a little tricky. Mostly fished duo and took equally on ptn and ehc. Best fish about 10”.

Fishing on Friday evening session for about 2 hours. It was nice sunny day and brilliant sunshine. People & dogs were swimming in the river. Wading was not easy due to the coloured water. There were plenty of Mayfly hatches, however no rising trout at all, again due to the coloured water . I’ve managed one beautiful browny by #12 Goldhead nymph.

The river was very coloured. I only fished the top section for a few hours starting around 10:30. Caught two on a pheasant tailed nymph and finally one on a dry fly. Access to the water was reasonable and wading was easy.

Great hatches during and after rain showers. Caught plenty of well sized Browns on May fly sized dry flies.
