Feedback & Reports

Several fish showing but none taken. Bright sunshine down the length of the beat can't have helped. Lots of shad present. Lovely stretch of fly water at the bottom of the beat. Banks a little over grown for those wishing to spin the slower water higher up the beat. It's a shame as some of it looks like lovely water. Some of the middle of the beat would suit a fly if you could get to it

Fished from 9.30 am until 8pm in four sessions on a gloriously sunny day. Fish were leaping on Vanstone all day - four in the morning and I lost count of how many I saw breaching after lunch - 12 or 15? At exactly 6pm I saw a huge salmon leap out of the water and it was so close I could see it was very coloured. It must have been 4 feet long!

Sadly, none of the fish took a lure or a fly - not even a bite! But the prospects for the next few days look fantastic.

A beautiful summers day on the beat I grew up fishing with my father and grandfather. Warm (24c) with intermittent cloud. Fished from 2pm to 8.30pm with a break in the Bell.

There were light intermittent hatches through the afternoon of a variety of species. Some mayfly still but mainly sedges, olives and tiny caenis (?). The bottom section and the slow water just upstream of the wooded section most productive on dries. A lovely day on my favourite beat in the world. In the end a parachute Adams took my fish.

River is now the perfect height at 0.4m on the Trallong gauge. Fished a couple of hours on the evening ticket. Not as much acitivity as I was expecting based on the previous evening. Just a few spinners falling.

Beautiful day, some salmon showing. One of our party lost an estimated ten pound silver fish on Beat 5.
