Feedback & Reports

Great day, arrived at the river around midday to find a steady hatch of olives and LDOs with trout rising. This continued throughout the afternoon with some added yellow may duns. Fishing not easy with the river low and clear and bright sunshine all day, but fish were willing to take an olive Emerger pattern. 10 in total with 5 missed/lost along the way. The highlight being a clonker of 21 inches, taken in skinny water which raised a few sketchy moments on the 3wt and 6x tippet. Epic evening rise in the last hour of daylight but struggled to tempt them amongst all the activity.

Gin clear water made it good fun sight fishing to some lumpy fish downstream of the bridge. a few olives coming off but not a huge hatch. I had 3 from 12 to 14" which all took dries, they torn line off when hooked in thin water.
It was very heartening to see a good pod of Grilse swim past and one bar of silver leapt just in front of me "wow" the the sun caught his silver flanks.

1 x Shad caught while fly fishing for salmon. Two jumping salmon seen. Great help from Ghillie Colin. Overall a lovely beat. Shame about the pollution in the river from upstream, we speculate is sewage.
