Good few hour's fishing. Fish rising all the time I was there. Fish taken off the top and deep on gold heads. Weather was overcast and warm.

A beautiful bright sunny day and very low, clear water made this a blank in terms of fish caught. Managed to get one or two trout to rise to a dryfly without takes; rises very sporadic and fish were mainly well down and out of the way due to the unfavourable conditions. But a lovely way to spend a day in such peaceful countryside. Barbel and chub observed in deeper lies beneath trees.

Sunny and hot. Found the farm easily. Car parking well signed. Lovely peaceful beat. Could see a few trout from the footbridge. Fish rising in the shady pools. Hooked into one but was broken off. Took a 10" grayling, my first ever, on beaded GRHE in pool next to fallen tree. Got a fish to rise to a dry but it didn't take despite 3 or 4 attempts.
Water low and cattle a little too friendly. Looking forward to coming back to this beat in the autumn.

Tenkara Day. Conditions cloudy with sunny intervals occasional thunderstorms. River placid. Tenkara fishing. 1 grayling approx 9ins on dogs body. First time fishing here. Very enjoyable. Would be difficult to find if didn't follow someone who knew beat.

Fished a variety of dry flies and nymphs. Plenty of wbt seen, unfortunately none caught. Caught 3 grayling at end of session. Beautiful beat, thoroughly enjoyed the day and will be returning in the future.

River coloured from recent rain, but enjoyable few hours

One 12" brown trout caught and released. Plenty of activity. Dry fly. River conditions perfect. Beautiful specimen. Will definitely be coming again.

Dry fly. Good water conditions.

The easterly wind made life difficult today being both cold and blustery. We started on klink and dink accounting for a small wbt and an out of season grayling. There was very little fly life hatching and consequently few fish topping. Around 3 pm there was a brief hatch and we took wbt and grayling up to 1lb.
Overall a satisfying day as every fish caught was hard earned. The wildlife was incredible today with bunting and Wagtail's performing acrobatics, catching the flies hatching off the river. Thank you Wendy for your help in booking this beat.

Beautiful beat with a lovely mix of features. Cool and breezy conditions with surprisingly good hatches for most of the day including a healthy number of mayfly, but not many fish rising. Some evidence of otter presence so maybe the ace fishermen beat me to the catch.
Took one of the top with an emerger pattern about half way down the beat and one on a heavy nymph in the pool above the bottom weir, both about 10 inches.
