Sunny day, level of river is very low. Caught only 1 grayling using the duo with a small pink nymph.

River level really poor, and fishing it is extremely difficult. Caught all fish with the duo, using a small pink nymph. Lovely and peaceful place. ATTENTION to the weir, not comfortable at all to have all those animals around when fishing. As well the upper limit is not accessible at all.

One very small brown trout taken on a wet fly. Generally a disappointing afternoon despite lovely conditions.

River clear but low. Few rises towards the end of the afternoon. Wet fly/nymph for trout - unsuccessful but lovely day by the river.

The river level was very low. We used a beaded pheasant tail fly. Not much sign of fish at all. The beat isn't as long as it states as the far end at both ends it is inaccessible. This needs attention.
Very easy wading and access off the bank but the cows can be a problem. It may be worth letting anglers know if there will be cow fields around the beat as I am not confident around them. Cows splashing around in the water is hardly an attraction for fish.
Enjoyed the day though....as always!

The conditions were not ideal as it was a very bright day and river was low. Only fished for a couple of hours and caught a grayling on a hare's ear beaded nymph. A very nice stretch of river.

Difficult day, water cloudy to start but cleared through day but the wind was much stronger than forecast and made fishing very difficult. The cattle are very inquisitive so be warned. Also as they get into the river in places that also muddies the water.
Thanks to W&U team for the fishing they provide in some lovely areas.

Sunny evening on a quiet stretch of river. The wood at either end of the beat were very hard to get through/access. Some nice stretches below the upstream weir. No fish rising this evening - no luck on dry or nymph.

Pretty stretch of river & a fair amount of fence climbing & nettle bashing with my wading stick to access some stretches; I think I needed a little more stealth on the day. Spent a lot of time standing in the water changing flies/leaders trying to find the magic pattern to attract the bigger trout. A lot of tiny ??dace & salmon parr taking the smaller offerings. Did manage one decent trout in the end. Had the company of a herd of very sociable bullocks on & off throughout the day. Wonderful day thank you.
