Feedback & Reports

First look at this beat lovey water and with the river so low you could see every rock! I fished down through but did not connect with anything but a couple of good trout and a small pike. RP was after the trout and managed to rise many fish without hooking one! Came back for another look on Wednesday and fished most of the morning before it started to snow very heavily, and I could no longer feel my hands!

18lbs from the bend- saw the fish in passing yesterday. Surprisingly fresh and returned safely.

3 brown trout, best 12 inch. Some grannom but trout not much interested.

First trip out this season. River very low for March. Clear skies and unseasonally warm tempratures meant fishing conditions not good!

Fly lift started early and the LDO hatch was done and dusted by around 1pm. Caught well from the off with more than 20 Trout coming to hand with fish from 6" to 17", average fish 12". Great day, lovely bit of water and well worth a visit!

I caught 10 Brownies and 10 Grayling. All fish returned. I caught the Browns and most of the Grayling on a size 16 grhe, and also a couple of Grayling on a Klinkhammer.
It was a brilliant day - I really appreciate the help/advice received at WUF. Apologies for the delay in the return but I have had neither internet or phone access (at Craswall). Thanks again, it was a real privilege.

Mild, cloudy day but river as lovely as ever, fished 11am until 4pm on the gravel catch, bridge pool and the flats. Lost a large WBT in bridge pool, 7 Grayling landed, lovely condition and large in size, best 2lb (my biggest yet!). Many thanks to beat owner and WUF, great day.

9lb salmon from tail of Rock Pool.

Made it to the river 4.00pm 1'9" falling, coloured
Caught a very lively fish in the Rock pool, turned out to be a coloured cock fish, a little bigger than last weeks, of perhaps 15lb, again unhooked in the water with no fuss.
Leaves beginning to become a problem.
2 trout of about 1lb (in superb condition) also took the silver stoat.

Initially had no success until about 5 pm when I started to catch. Ended up with 6 smallish grayling, 5 trout and 2 dace plus a couple of smolt.

Fished the section above the bridge in reasonable weather conditions from 9.30 until about 3 p.m. when it got very windy. Some pale wateries around and, with some fish rising above the bridge, I had some trout and grayling on a hare's ear emerger and on a couple of PW emergers. Then fished up to the top of the beat with the HE emerger, part of the time NZ-style with a PW nymph on the point. Had more, mainly non-rising, fish on the emerger and a couple on the nymph - even had two grayling on at the same time and dropped both! Ended up with 13 grayling, all 8-10", and six trout, the best a lean 12", and the others about 8". After a stroll to the downstream section and wetting a line in a few places, but to no effect, the attraction of the last few hours of the 4th Test Match seemed like the better option!
