Feedback & Reports

River started to drop and clear throughout the day, started to get a few bites towards the end of the day. Quite a short beat so a little limited if the fishing is hard. I’m sure in the right conditions it would be a great one day location. Reachable by car in dry conditions but very slippery when wet, 4x4s only. We parked at the top and walked down.. great decision!!

Weather varied all day with sun rain and cloud cover. River highish but very fishable. 5 thought caught on beads nymph on a French leader in the faster water. Pale watery hatch at 2PM caused half an hours dry fly action on one of the glides below Ashford bend. Caught 2 and missed many. All fish safely returned with out handling them. Fish mostly of just over l lb.

Started with dry fly but water seemed better suited to nymph fishing also very little in the way of rising fish even though there was a good insect presence all day. River appears to be at normal level but quite peaty coloured

Fished Rectory Pool and Pot.
River level still high and coloured but reducing from recent peak. Bank fishing with no takes on a variety of nymphs.
Will be back when there is less gusty wind and where wading is possible.
