Feedback & Reports

First time here and it was a lovely beat, no salmon seen. I was told by two anglers fishing the opposite bank that from the bottom of tail pool right down to the end of the beat was reserved for them, the “cider mill” beat they said. As it was my first time here I said ok but is this correct?
Fishing Passport Note : Absolutely correct, the opposite bank from the bottom of the tail pool is the Cider Mill beat.

After the last visit I was prepared for the jungle. Fished Nymphs and then moved on to Klink n Dink. All fish bar 1 taken on Nymphs, 4 of which on the dink.
This beat is hard going, even on the bits with no trees fallen across the river as you have to get in and out due to the depth of many pools. The Balsam was 10ft tall in places and got stung to death by the 6ft nettles. The land owner has cut the grass around the top couple of fields but much work is needed to improve the access, the beat has some great potential.
Saw a beaty of about 2lb but I lined her on second attempt at covering her and she dropped in to the deep pool.

A nice grayling of about 10oz on a pink tag. All in all a very tiring day.

Only fished a couple of hours between 9 and 11. The river was as low as I have seen it and the trout were very spooky. 2 small trout on Tenkara both below the bridge.

Lovely quiet evening, all fish taken on CDC Parachute. Great to be back out. Please note there was no padlock on the gate on arrival.

1 Trout, 2 Grayling

Lots of hungry fish as the river dropped back to a good height but still carrying a touch of colour. Most fish caught on nymphs but with more taking an Elk hair Caddis than yesterday. Smaller average size with the largest at 16”. Not too sure of numbers as I loose count after ten.
