Quick session on the Dore. Missed out the shallower sections and just put a nymph (18 ptn) through the deeper pools.
Managed 3 trout, largest 7". Lost a couple of others and had a few takes but didn't connect.
The large obstruction about 3/4 of the way up is getting worse.
Downstream of it someone has been trying to damn the stream, probably local kids, but they did come prepared.(see photos)
Beat is generally in need of a trim.
Lots of algae around, goes without saying that we need some water, so I don't know why I said that.
An enjoyable couple of hours on a lovely beat.

I was inspired by L.B. s piccies of the Cammarch , and his report at the beginning of the week , so thought I’d give it a bash too ….. holding its water for sure when I parked up by the now dilapidated old barn at the Lower beat parking area …..

Always a slight red tinge here , bit like the Cilieni , although nice and refreshed it looked , did dip it with the thermometer out of interest , reading 12 degrees , so these cooler nights of late really are bringing the temp down , great stuff …. Still not at its usual flow , but not bad considering …….

Fished my six foot , two weight rod , and initially went with an eighteen tan klinkhammer , did the trick , two good takes missed in a row initially ….. honed in eventually , and had my fist Cammarch brownie in a while , great stuff , strong little fish too ,and lovely violent takes on the dry too , about ab eight inch fish , slipped back in …. The next two were ditto in size , hitting the dry at the heads of the pools , last fish was about ten inches , a really cracker …. A few missed strikes , and two that didn’t make it to the net …… a very sporting few hours …………………..

A pleasant mooch upstream here , it’s varied water and lovely dry fly water too . A heron was working the water in two locations , as I spooked him …. Annoyed I’d say , wonder how he had done fishing wise today !!!!! Also buzzards and I think young ones too . Seems a popular place for buzzards , and I remember last year a pair being here too .

Only did just over half the beat looking at google maps , as I cut cross the fields , hit the road and walked back down to my truck . It’s a long beat this one , so bear it in mind if you fancy doing the full beat right up to the bridge by the Trout Inn , which incidentally WUF , can you clarify , is it still a beat we can fish ,the upper one , as one report , a gent stated that the landowner has blocked off entry and exits with barbed wire etc etc …. Be nice to get an answer , so that anglers know it’s worth the trip out there …..

Anyway , the lower beat was fun , varied and sporting during my four hour mooch this morning , we’ll , actually started at half eleven , and cut out into the field at quarter past three . Great fun , always amazes me why it’s not fished more , it’s got a reasonable head of brownies in it too ….. lovely job .
