More chub than water, but barbel much harder to find than usual. Path to the bottom swims gets more treacherous on each visit!

Great couple of hours chub fishing for a recent returnee to the sport!

Well for a change headed for the Cammarch ,.lower beat , arriving near the bridge at about quarter to nine !! Perfect height , bit of a tinge to it but looking nice !! Never done the Lower beat so was champing at the bit to get going !!

Tackled up my usual small stream outfit ,.opting for a small Parachute Iron Blue initially, see how the mop flops with it !!!

A series of lovely pools here and fun dry fly water !! Lovely strong fish too !! Had a tally of eleven ! Actually I'd be telling porkies if I said they were all good Fish!! Six were decent brownies the remainder were five or six inch fish !! Also three Salmon parr caught during the five hour session.i was there !! Thoroughly enjoyed the mooch up this varied and interesting stream ! Great takes on the dry too ! Vicious ; and two came out from knowwhere literally as soon as the fly alighted !! Fantastic fun !!!!

It's a long beat , and I only managed. Perhaps three quarters of it !! Great fun and two kingfishers keeping me company! It also appears that half way up this beat is a ravens sanctuary!! Lots of deep croaking! Anc close up they are impressive too! Almost magical. . . . . .

A really fun five hours in this secretive valley, and some cracking dry fly sport too . . . . It is a long walk back so beat that in mind !! I was ready for a cold can of pop in my cool bag when I got back to the truck . . . . . Sorted!! Upper beat I a couple of weeks I think !!!! Happy days . . . .

need rain now to help the river. Nothing caught

Went back here looking for the carp, unfortunately only caught 5 small roach. when we fished here 2 years ago we saw high numbers of carp swimming and feeding, this time I saw zero carp, has something changed here?? probably won't return here.

First time on this picturesque stretch. I noted that a recent feedback on this beat noted campers in the lower field. Not there this time but evidence was there both in the field and on the river bank. Discarded cans, bottles, pans, bbq residue etc etc. I feel sorry for the farmer and I cannot understand how people sampling the nature can leave the place in such a mess. Rant over.
The water level was good, no neck high nettles as has been my recent experience elsewhere, real mountain stream fishing.
Even space here and there to do an overhead cast! No rising fish but two nice trout on a nymph - both live to bite another day. Only spent 3 hours and I will be back to try the full length of the beat. Lovely spot.
