Dry Tups Indisputable. River low. bank side growth very dense. This stretch is full of fish. Some late Mayfly still coming off.

Fished top of beat. There were a few fish rising and I managed to rise a single fish on a dry sedge. It did not stay on for long.

A pleasant evening out on this beat. Fished from gate two to gate 3. I cleared enough of a major obstacle halfway down the beat to allow access along the river bank instead of leaving the river and struggling up the bank.

Very overgrown, poor access, numerous rises but missed all.
Good head of fish present. However online booking very easy and a big improvement on old voucher system.

This was the 5th beat till I found one available, soon found out why. Hard going! Still 4 decent trout to the Mayfly.

Fished 10am-2pm hoping for a mayfly hatch which never really materialised. The odd mayfly that were on the water the trout were quite willing to rise for. Stuck to the dry fly all day and managed 5 trout 8-10inches from the faster, shallower sections of the river. Nice beat and hopefully next year I catch the mayfly hatch. Fished the Dulas brook 2:30-4pm. Few more mayfly hatching here, though many of the pools lacked flow. Caught 3 trout, 6-8inches, on the dry fly again. Enjoyable days fishing.

My the vegetation has grown since I was last there. I managed 4 fish to dry fly in an evening session.

Found it difficult to access the gates on to the river as vegetation had taken hold. Despite this I had an enjoyable day using my 6ft6 fly rod. I caught 2 trout. Fishing was hindered by a nasty breeze on the water all day.

The sun came out around midday when I started fishing from the downstream limit. The river was alive with mayfly and swarms of smaller two tailed spinners (iron blues?), plus small and large birds, mostly unidentified but I thought one was an owl silently flying away. All fish caught on dry fly, mostly using one that bore some resemblance to a mayfly. I kept moving and fished almost the whole beat, which was a lot of wading! 8 wbt between 5 and 9 inches, and spooked countless risers.

36 or more to hand 4 of which grayling. Fished from 10a.m - 3.30 p.m klink and dink for first two hours with size 18 natural cdc black bodied f-fly with size 18 tungsten beadhead below. This took about 12 trout and four grayling. By noon they were locked on mayfly with dunns being sipped down in slower water and emergers in the faster heads of pools and in the foam lanes. foam bodied size 12 mayfly brought 20+to hand. A good day on a good beat.
