Feedback & Reports

Was due to try the main river but put off by spending all day out in the heat so head this local-ish beat for an afternoon.

River was very quiet, only seeing one fish rise consistently. One trout and one grayling caught in the faster water while the other three trout all caught in slower stuff above the weir. Hadn’t gone that far up before - turns into a wild stream with access and casting becoming a challenge.

The best trout of the day, a 15”-er, was caught of an absolutely pathetic cast into some very slow water. Hadn’t seen the fish move but he walloped the fly almost as soon as it hit the water. All fish released safely.

Thank you to the WUF and the landowners.

2 trout on small gnat
Hot day, a few fish rising, but less than when I visited last month. Also less room now that the vegetation has further grown, so 8’ rod feels too long.

Hard fishing, as expected on such a hot day. Banks very overgrown so access to the river tricky in places.

1 Grayling

I love this venue! However sport was a little on the slow side today, but we had quite a good day in the end on the upper sections of this beat.
