will be returning next year great place

1 Trout

Fished the whole beat 3pm to 7pm, two rods booked. Saw very few rises, no takes to a nymph, two takes on the dry, small fish and did not hook either properly.
Car parking is a little confusing as appears to be a private space. I did not on door of cottage to check but no response.

Another very hot and sunny day so not ideal conditions. However fishing started off with a decent trout on the 4th cast and carried on surprisingly well. Only one fish seen rising and no hatch but 3 trout caught on dries and 2 on nymph. Had to leave early but an enjoyable day on a lovely stretch of river.

5 Trout

Arrived around midday with the river quite low but still fishable. A few Mayfly seen throughout the afternoon. Two good trout landed and a third lost at the net, all to a dry Mayfly pattern. The first fish came from under the Ranunculus just above the bridge. The other 2 were both seen rising and gently sipped my fly under. Another pleasant day on this stretch of river.

Much enjoyed despite no sign of trout anywhere. Kingfishers made up for it.

Very poor fished for 5 hrs know fish seen big blockage between footbridge and old rail bridge we will not go back

One good trout at 10 inches to a PTN in one of the deeper gutters. Steady trickle of mayfly coming off.

1 Trout

Started fishing at 10:30am. River in good condition and a few small up-wing flies over the water. Started with a Stimulator which took a nice trout from a fast bit of water. Around midday saw the first of a handful of Mayfly. Half way along beat noticed a good fish rise which I covered with the Stimulator, but no interest. Changed to a fan wing mayfly with success on the 4th cast only to loose the fish at the net. Estimate around 16" fish. The same happened a further up stream with another good fish. Last fish caught just below the weir. Off to Ireland next week so will try the beat again in early June.

River in fine shape, fisherman less so. Lower end of beat blocked by fallen trees

Spent a few hours here today, another beautiful location. Fished down from the footbridge this morning, and up in the afternoon but the fish were not playing.

The river is blocked by tree debris downstream from the bridge.

Note to WUF admin - please can you amend the directions to note that parking should be directly under the yew tree - the very nice lady who rents the cottage says to park on the grass triangle as close to the tree trunk as possible so her access is completely clear.
