Feedback & Reports

Water was being pumped out of lake it was down about 10 ft from last week. I and mmy friends think this is really unfair as we always pay our way to have and enjoy the day fishing we won't be going
again this season very disssapointed

Doldowlod was not my fist choice today, but the beat that I wanted was already booked. A surprisingly cold morning which, coupled with a low clear river, and bright sun, made for a difficult day. Wasted a lot of time trying to catch rising fish in the bottom meadow; resorting to smaller and smaller flies in an effort to convert the splashy takes into fish to hand. I ended up using flies that were so small that, not only was I struggling to tie them to the leader, when I managed to tie the knot, I could not see the fly in the water if I cast more than 5 yards. As a consequence, the take from the first fish that I caught was felt rather than seen. Nothing from the Gutter, a couple of better Grayling from the top of the beat, and an angler scratching his head as to where all the fish had gone

1 Trout, 4 Grayling

3 Barbel

Worming method.

3 Trout

The barbel did not oblige, but the chub again gave some good action, along with some dace-a satisfactory day considering the conditions.

37 Chub, 14 Other

2 Trout

River very low, small amount of fly life but no signs of any fish. Camping rubbish left on river bank.

River down to gutter level. Small trout on dry in pool tail & one missed take on nymph. Otherwise very quiet with grayling in hiding, but a pleasant way to while away a sunny September afternoon.

1 Trout

Trout was from the left hand bank, almost opposite the owner's fishing hut, on a small heavy nymph. The small grayling were from the mouth of Clettwr Brook on a size 20 parachute adams.
