Feedback & Reports

Fished dawn till dusk.

Boilie and feeder seemed to work better than lead and barrel shaped hook baits. Pellets also worked.

Float fished meat during the day produced good sport wading.

Very enjoyable day fishing midday to dusk on this beat but little fly life coming off and only a few fish seen rising during the day, the hoped for evening rise didn't happen. Other folks were enjoying the warm weather and river too around the Bell and downstream. Conditions meant scratching my head and trying different tactics to draw fish out from the likely lies (no joy) and so resorting to prospecting the riffles, heads and tails of pools and glides. Grayling tempted by weighted pheasant tails at heads of deeper pools, trout taken on nymphs.

Fished the afternoon in to early evening targeting Barbel but no luck. Nice place with plenty of fishable swims.
