Feedback & Reports

Warm and sunny conditions and swarms of fly life including spinners was very encouraging but alas not a trout rose all afternoon. I dug out two trout with weighted nymphs and had a few taps that indicated the presence of others.

Sadly, the weather was too bad to fish

Beat clearly improved from when I fished it 5 years ago. A lot of trees cleared etc. Great job.

Weather good, river in fine condition with plenty of hatching flies in the way of olives of all sizes. Rose one fish which was the only one seen in 6 hours.

Cool, overcast start but lovely afternoon on this extremely attractive 'fishy' looking beat. Unfortunately, despite a reasonable hatch of upwings including Mayflies the fish didn't come out to play with less than a handful of fussy fish seen rising all day. We would like to think this was due to the river being above normal level and incomplete tree canopy cover rather than a lack of fish.

Lovely evening but the river appeared devoid of fish. Then at about 9pm a couple of fish started rising. Had 1 on a stack winged olive and bumped another. Nice fish of about 12oz.

A steady stream of insects hatching, one or two trout rising. Managed to land three and lose one. Flies used were Copper John, Baetis nymph and F-fly.

Nice place. I will be back. Something weird to be honest because there were a lot of flies but no fish rising, only a couple of rise and that´s all at the end of the day.

Two trout of 8 inches, both on GRHE. One caught downstream of the bridge, the other further up. Caught both fish in the morning so thought I was in for a good day but was unable to hook up again. Enjoyable day on this lovely beat.
