Feedback & Reports

I caught three trout but it wasn't easy at all.
I spent all day fishing with dry flies. No signs of rising fish. A lot of insect activity.

Fished for 2 hours in early evening. Very quiet, no surface activity. Tried numphs and a dry but nothing worked.

Another blank day on this lovely looking stretch of water. Lots of insect activity but no sign of any fish.

This was the second beat I fished today, lovely place, lots of insect life, no rises seen however I did only spend 2 hours on this stretch. As the description says you can spend all day here, I managed to tempt a brown of around 10" out of a deep pool but managed to also loose it.

Lovely evening again in such a beautiful valley at Titley , Another big fish @ 14ins on dusk on a deer hair sedge.

Fantastic evening fishing. Trout came on for that magic 2 hours, 8pm to 10pm. caught on black klinks, deer hair emergers & pheasant tails. Couple of good fish at 12-14inches, most at 10inches or smaller.

Water quality fair. Weather better than expected. Very few rises and no fish caught.

Having fished the beat last month with plenty of fly life and no fish rising I planned to fish the afternoon and evening. However, after seeing the weather forecast I fished the morning into the afternoon. Plenty of flies hatching but only of couple of fish rising. Caught and released 5 trout all to a size 12 mayfly nymph.

Quite a poor day for fishing really. The weather was overcast and cloudy and rained profusely with heavy wind till about lunch time. It got brighter, but still quite windy in the afternoon.
I only saw 2 fish all day and had a bite from one of them, but didn't get it to the net. There was lots of flies coming off the water, including what appeared to be mayflies, but very little fish rising for them. An excellent days fishing albeit with poor weather, maybe I'll do better next time.

Running very clear with good hatch of stonefly and still a few mayfly about. Very little in the way of fish showing / rising despite the abundant fly life although only able to fish between 11:30am and 1:30pm. Small brown trout returned.
