Feedback & Reports

Sunny/cloudy/windy day. Usual Rock and Island pools were too deep 1-2’ higher than our normal. V tricky wading but managed a few on Dark Knight. Midday went to Gravel Catch. Wonderful short-lived hatch of LDO, caught 4 decent trout to JGE and sedge patterns. Very splashy rises, lots of bird life also enjoying hatch (swallows, martins, wagtails). Nice stretch when levels are up.

6 Trout, 4 Grayling

Caught 2, lost 3. All on dry flies. Difficult day with changeable weather but enjoyable. River in good condition.

Only spent 2 hr's fishing early evening. Mill stream,tail of Rectory and the run produced the fish. Biggest Was a 1lb. River banks are very tidy.

Lovely day and enjoyed the sun on the new extended decking at the Fishing hut.

Thanks for great day! Good rise between 12:15 and 1. Had 9 in total 4 grayling and 5 trout, lost 3 too. 2 on nymph in the gravel flats, rest were above the rock pool on drys. Stunning day.. Bank's were well looked after. Great hut.

All but two fish succumbed to nymphs - dark olive perdigon, pink beaded +. Dry was JGE s.16 during extensive grannom hatch, although very few fish rising. V difficult windy conditions. Great to be back on the river though.

Superb sport

Had a good go for the Salmon on the fly on the upper part of the beat and spinner in the Rectory pool. Conditions look very good. No salmon seen but plenty of trout rising for the afternoon hatches.
One decent trout of about 1lbs took a fancy to the spinner.
