Feedback & Reports

Water in great shape at 0.89m and little or no wind. Weather fine with only one brief shower at about 2pm. Fished dry with March Brown on a decent hatch between 1-2.30 and landed 6 between three quarters and one pound above the rock off the staging. Lost one on the lift which would have scaled in excess of 2lb. Hatch stopped at 2.30 so switched to grannom spider 14 and landed another 3 fish to three quarters pound at the steps from the streamy water.
No salmon seen. Fished above and below rock with no success.
A very enjoyable half day!!! What a difference from Monday, my normal day, where the river rose rapidly and I got a thorough soaking, so thanks Barry for the invite to fish today.

9 trout taken on a either a Klinkhammer or nymph; in fact two fish taken on both at the same time. Agree with the previous comment, the central section is almost un-fishable due to the forestry work with so much debris in the stream. All fish caught on the lower section, which is a lot clearer. A lot of fun navigating up the stream and catching some feisty little trout especially on a 6 ft 2# rod.

5 fish caught on dry fly, small brown shuttlecock.

Warm, sunny day but strong flow and colour after Monday's rain meant no fish seen but first Iron Blue on the wing. Floods have left big alders in all the pools. Skunk cabbage taken hold on the island, probably should be removed before seeding.

Difficulties with access to the new parking spot which was locked out. This seems to have been an ongoing problem, which urgently needs the land agent's attention. It's uncomfortable to say the least to have to reverse back down onto the A40 dual carriageway! What a pity this beat has been split into two. As for the fishing a great day was had. LDO's and flurries of March browns hatching. Eight good brownies landed and safely returned, including two 16" and one 19" fish. Saw my first swifts of 2016!
WUF Note : As at 14th April 2016, the parking issues, as far as we are aware, have been resolved.

Water pretty coloured and browns very careful. Deep nymph on short line. All fish returned.

Smashing days fishing, banks very clogged up with willow trees and flood debris made movement very difficult, challenging. Lovely day though would do it again.
