Feedback & Reports

The river was very high and coloured. Most of the beat was far too dangerous to fish. However, great news, The gravel catch was fishable and I managed a thoroughly enjoyable hour. No real prospect of a fish, but wonderful to be on the river so early in the year.

FOUND - a pair of wader boots

The following boots were on the side of the road on the Gromain Beat. I have put them in the main Gromain hut.

Did not fish for long but fished the rectory pool it looked good but nothing seen or touched. I wonder how often that will be said this season

I only fished the gravel catch had a trout [returned] and a possible follow, but all was quiet

Couldn’t entice many grayling again today with the river at 2’ 1” and still carrying some colour. Fish came to the usual weighted nymphs and bugs, but there were none over 10”.

4 Trout, 2 Grayling

River at 2' with a tinge and strong current. Fish came to zugbug and pink goldhead. Off-season 1lb trout and 8"grayling . Good to squeeze in a session before predicted strong winds and rain up there.

1 Trout, 1 Grayling

One grayling to a straggle nymph and a couple of other touches in the run below the island. Moved to the mill stream after lunch and one touch to a goldhead pink grub.

1 Grayling

River running clear , down to 1’2” on the gauge. Very cold and fished a light salmon/switch rod mainly from the bank to keep wading to a minimum. 3 1/2 hours long line nymphing produced a few fish , but takes were sporadic and all the fish were small.

1 Trout, 4 Grayling

Water down a few inches on Sunday's level and quite clear. Other than a couple of touches in the upper part of the beat, not much fish activity.

3 Grayling

Grayling 11”, 2 x OOS trout at about the same size.Conditions fair but the fish only came on the feed briefly at around 1pm. Good to be back on the river though.

2 Trout, 1 Grayling
