Feedback & Reports

There was plenty of grannom about in the morning and fish rising. Soon as I had set up and ready to fish the hatch had stopped and no sign of rising fish. Did miss a take on a dry sedge and had one take on a nymph which was landed. Should have got there earlier in the morning.

3 brown trout caught but all lost whilst playing them much to my frustration, all due to jumping and head shakes. Further 3 pulls on the spiders too. Massive day full of match browns, at times I had at least a dozen covering me. So many fish rising for all the match browns, not interested in my dry fly, just too much choice!

Decent. Fresh, clean water, big hatch of LDOs. Lots to like.

3 Trout, 7 Grayling

Just two hours fishing ( 4-6pm). Beautiful weather but very quiet.

End of March with zero rain, river looking lovely alas no Salmon..

Sunny day, light east wind, river low-ish and clear. There was a fair on-and-off hatch of mid olives (rather than March browns?) between 12 and 2pm, which produced quite a few rises. Caught 3 fish on the (dry) Jingler (14), the largest of which, 18 inches/2.5 lbs, was in a stream right under the far bank and very strong, jumping no less than six times. A bit of success with klink-and-dink (on a 14 PTN) after the hatch.

well , bright sunshine , cool light wind , crystal clear water ,a lot of olives about some quite large , and i think the water level is very low , never saw a fish or touched one but once we get some rain maybe it will improve .

after a morning on the Longtown beat [ see report] got here just after lunch time , even hotter now , with in 50 yrds of starting saw a rise so put an olive over it second cast got it about 10" nice very lively fish then more olives than you could shake a stick at no more rises so after a good try went for the nymph not a nudge, knock ,nothing did not see another fish and left at 3pm the weather very very hot and once again needs some water to just colour the water just a bit.

It's been a few years since I last fished this beat. Some interesting changes with new growth blocking the odd pool and slightly changed flow opening up new bits.

A lovely sunny day but I think the water is still a touch cold at just under 7C. I saw a fish or two in each of the deep pools but couldn't tempt them. A handful of small rises in a couple of shallow stretches but from very small fish.
