Feedback & Reports

Fished 11.30 to 1600. Blue sky to start , cloud building and complete cloud cover by 15.00. Warm to start but temperature fell around 3 pm when total cloud cover moved in. Wind light and variable. Went all round the clock. Olives hatching sporadically producing similarly sparse rises. Main action 13.00 to 1.30. Hooked 4 and landed 3 super feisty trout around 1.5 - 1.75 lbs. Failed to connect with about half a dozen more slashing takes. Fish were risen by targetting rises and likely seams with dries. Most rises were 'oncers' . Flies used were Olive Comparadun, Paraloop Spinner and CDC F Flies. A superb day to be on the river. Highly enjoyable.

It was a warm sunny day. Some fish rising and jumping but only managed to tempt one which broke off.

Tough going in very bright conditions and a shrunken river. No hatches or consistent risers but fish enthusiastically feeding subsurface and produced decent sport in the riffles and faster glides. 10 nice fish caught to 16.5” and 5 lost including a better fish of c.18”. All on Copper John fished under a DHE.

Weather was perfect but but couldn't get more than small brown trout .

Showery with sunny periods, downstream breeze.
Noon start, fish rising, olives hatching. Missed a couple of takes and then caught one about 1lb. Then all went quiet. Fished on until until heavy rain stopped play at about 3pm, lost another fish towards the top of the beat.
