Feedback & Reports

Glorious early spring day after frosty start. No sign of any hatches/rising fish. Unable to tempt anything to take the variety of nymphs offered.

Dank overcast day, no breeze & clear river (what am I going to use as an excuse!!!! maybe the Otters Holt at the far end of the beat!). Worked my way back from the far end of the beat upstream without success. Reached the section just below the Bridge where fish were rising caught 1 out of season WBT 9" and missed several others.

It was totally unfishable due to the weather and flood, so 0 fish. Also had 10 roving vouchers I couldn't use. Can someone else use them? Shame, but thats fishing!

2x brown trout, 1x grayling on BWO dry fly. (All returned). Beautiful place, good fly life, water coloured.

Perfect end to the season. Good fly hatches with rising fish most of the day. 12 caught up to a pound or so on various dry flies including Adams, Pheasant Tail and v. small grey affair fished in surface film later on.

3 hours fishing from about 2pm to 5pm. Didn't catch or feel anything. There were fish rising, however, in sparse numbers.

Caught two brown trout (8" and 6") and a 7" grayling, all with a Parachute Adams on a light 7ft rod. Weather was overcast with the occasional heavy showers and the water was quite coloured. Saw only a few rises but decided to fish with the fly anyway. Would have had had about 8 if I had more experience.

Beautiful warm evening, Patchy rise, we had 3 fish, 1/2lb to 1 1/4lbs around 7.45 pm. River remains surprisingly coloured.

Great day, lovely weather. Caught two small brown trout, both returned, both on small dry fly which was with the kind help of the other rod on the river.

Arrived at the beat at midday to find water a bit coloured but level & flow good. Whilst tackling up I noticed that across from the car park, fish were regularly rising so took that as a good sign to fish dry and tied on trusty Adams. The rest of the day saw fish rising steadily to a variety of flies with fish taken from several ideal dry fly stretches. One run in particular delivered several fish, one after the other. I felt rather like Skues's Mr Castwell who ended up in heaven and was condemned by St Peter to fish for ever the same spot whilst fish were still rising there.
Great day, lovely spot, 15 trout to a good pound and a quarter......pretty much like heaven I imagine!
