Feedback & Reports

Early morning trip but not early enough I don't think - a few rises in first half an hour or so, after that all quiet. Other were salmon parr; water obviously very low but there were fish in faster water. All on dries, para Adams and larger brown klink. Missed a few, including takes from a couple of reasonable fish that I did see rising in still water (not counting the many splashes at the fly from ambitious parr); worth going at first light if possible at the moment. Enjoyed trying somewhere new as always, thanks to WUF.

7 x trout 6-9 inches, 2 x grayling 6-10 inches, Parachute Adams and Parachute Greenwells. Plus countless numbers of smaller parr, trout, salmon and grayling, pecking away at the fly. A heron and a large family of goosanders seemed to be helping themselves. No larger fish seen today.

fish taken mid morning from small deep pools on size 16 GRHE, including an impressive grayling of about 1lb. Trout of about 8 inches and ten inches. Upper reaches very pretty but only yielding salmon par.

good afternoon fishing. Had many more rises than I hooked up with.

3 Trout

Fished from 0900—1200. Dry at first then rain set in. Not much fly life given the changeable weather recently and it was a few degrees cooler than the day before. The odd trout was rising, but I couldn't work out what they were taking. A couple of trout up to 8" came to a ptn, both released.

Fished 2pm-5
A beautiful warm slightly overcast day. Fished duo, dry and nymph on long leader.
Loads of fly life and a steady hatch of Mayfly throughout. Interestingly I didn’t see any Mayfly taken of the surface with other upswings selected instead.
All fish taken in the first 200m of stream after that only a couple of rising fish seen and nothing on the nymph.
The blurb was right with the average size of fish being bigger than the norm for a small stream.
The nice 14 inch Grayling was sight-fished from a deep slow pool the trout from the heads of pools. One trout to a dry the others and the Grayling to a Maynymph.

River in good shape with plenty of insect activity including a few may flies. There were very few rises and there did not seem to be much fish activity.

Very bright, abundant fly life, incl mayfly (and a hornet!), fish mostly down in deeper pools. A glorious spot.
Two fish caught (1x grayling, 1x trout) & returned. One mink seen

An attractive wild stream beat. A very bright day with full sun- too bright.
