Feedback & Reports

A bright day, warm in the sun, but with a chill Easterly wind, made for difficult fishing. Fish were rising, but neither the duo nor spiders could tempt them. A fellow angler had no luck with March Browns. The day was saved almost at the last cast with a 7" fish taken on point by a Hare's Lug #14.

River at good fishable height and clear. WT 9C. Weather dry, sun and high cloud. AT 10C rising to 16C in afternoon. Fished from 11.30am until 4.15pm. March Brown hatches from 12.45pm - short and intense. Also olives hatching until 3.30pm. Had 8 trout with the best two @ 1lb 14oz each. Dry March Brown and Parachute Adams, Baetis nymph and Waterhen Bloa all caught fish. A very pleasant day.

Upon arrival everything looked quiet but as the temperature climbed the odd fish took something off the surface.
At the top of the beat fish were rising steadily to large olives. Sadly most were on the far side of the river and beyond reach. A couple of splashy risers were missed partly due to incompetence, incorrect fly pattern and drag.
5 fish missed, 2 hooked. A fascinating day in lovely conditions with the final score well in the fishes favour.

Beautiful day to be out on the river but slow fishing. Pleased to catch and return two fish of 10 & 12"on a GBHE nymph and dry March Brown imitation. Short March Brown rise got the fish going at about 12.30 but otherwise they showed little interest in the sporadic rises of smaller fly.

Great hatch over midday of fine sunny day - caught a fine 12 in brown on a small klinkhammer.

I took advantage of the sunshine and lower than recent river level to wet a line. Started at 4:30 pm and left at 6pm, having fished a few pools from the weir back to the bridge. Caught a nice brown mid way along on a gold head nymph fished duo. No other takes and no fish seen rising. Still a very pleasant hour or so which was better than not being there!

1 times Brown Trout 11 inches approx 1lb caught on a Ginger dry fly at 1320. There was a prolific hatch at 1300 and lasted for about 30 mins. Water conditions were very good and sporadic fly throughout the day.

1x Rainbow trout, 14" long, 1 1/2 lbs in weight, caught using spinner. Light wind, calm water, clear sky with mixed cloud, dry. Great day out, my son enjoyed his first fishing trip, we will return soon.
