Feedback & Reports

1 grayling lost in the first half hour then nothing all day apart from one possible tickle. River still high and backside scrambling tricky.

Nothing happening. Heavy rain the day before may have contributed. Nice spot, but not really any sense that a catch was on the cards.

Nice venue with helpful hosts

Not much all day. One grayling early on. One OOS trout in the afternoon. owners Make you feel very welcome. Busy ish farm yard.

The river was low, slow and very clear which made presentation of nymphs a little difficult. However, this didn't deter the trout although the grayling were harder to track down. Those that did come to the net were all nice specimens which made for a good days fishing. Small copper and pink beaded ptns seemed to work best.

The other fish caught were a couple of greedy minnows who were cleanly hooked in the mouth!

First visit to this beat. Mix of shallow riffles and deep, very slow moving pools. 2 anglers caught and returned 2 large and 2 small grayling on ptn and red tag.

A new beat for us - there were two anglers. Very impressed with the management of the angling facilities - in fact with the entire farm. Though the banks were largely covered in brambles, balsam and nettles, which seems to be obligatory these days, fencing was a single stand of electrified fence which was easily scalable. Weather was good though water was low. Wading was relatively easy but with occasional deep holes so caution was necessary. As ever, my buddy proved his superior ability and landed 3 grayling (one a very nice fish) and an OOS trout. I wasn't completely outclassed though as I managed to land one 10 inch or so grayling late in the day.

Couldn’t resist coming back for a second time. Lovely river and good sport throughout the afternoon on trotted maggots. Hope to be back next year.

4 grayling caught and returned. Fished indicator method and in deep pools with a two nymph set up. River conditions were ideal, 0.3m up. A good day.

Using float fished maggot, plenty of grayling on the move up to 13" and one trout caught at the end of the day. None of the bigger fish in evidence this time.
