Feedback & Reports

Very low water levels and high temperatures meant I didn't really expect to do much more than recce the stream for a future visit. Access difficult with many fallen trees and obstacles in the water. No fish larger than fingerlings seen, but the sighting of a kingfisher twice and also a heron together with stunning scenery made up for the lack of sport!

Only fished for a couple of hours and it was cold and windy. Very few fish showing.

The river was very low and clear with bright sunlight, very little evidence of surface activity. Lots of fallen trees and overhanging branches to negotiate. All fish (small)returned.

The fish were not rising in the morning for fear of being knocked unconscious by the hail from the intermittent showers. The temperature was all of 10 degrees and this is mid May. The afternoon saw some fly life and with it the occasional rise, this enabled me to catch six brown trout to nine inches all on an Iron Blue.

Cold wind and rain showers. All trout again to small gold head nymphs. Except one which liked the Klinkhamer.

Short session to get some idea of the stream. 1 fish caught on dry/wet, very spirited fight.
