Feedback & Reports

Fished upstream with nymph and dry fly. There was an awkward downstream wind, and very few rises, as no hatch of note. (Though 2 mayflies appeared -- a little late for the party?) The weather was overcast with occasional drizzle in the morning, but improved in the afternoon. The river level was low, below summer level, and the water warm.
The trout were beautiful things, fit and gleaming in the late afternoon light. They ranged from 1/2lb to double that. The river was beautiful.

A very difficult venue. Needed to find the faster flowing water. Very few pegs accessible. Walked all the way to the bottom of the beat, nettles up to your arm pits. Had to make my own peg in the woods. The barbel we're in the middle in the main flow caught 2 lost 1.Then the boat traffic turned up they also went down the middle
This stretch needs some TLC. It could be good

We were hoping that heavy rain the day before might have raised the river level and got rid of the algae bloom. Sadly the river was very low and still coloured brown. Lots of floating streamer weed which was a nuisance. Nearly all fish caught in the last two hours.

A quick Evening visit with the Tenkara rod. I was hoping to see a bit more water after the rain but still very low and clear.
4 Trout 6 to 8 inches on a small unweighted nymph fished in the surface.

Endless stream of boats one young lad banged his boat with his paddle when he saw us and kept it up for several hundred yards. The fish were deep in the snags and nothing in the normal runs. As the boats died off a massive diesel pump was fired up thumping away to water adjacent crops. Not what I hoped for my guests..... A complete waste of money I’m afraid.

Nothing caught

Some fish caught in the morning but dead from midday, caught 3 perch.
