Feedback & Reports

Arrived 9.30am cold ,overcast very windy started at down stream limit with duo set up 3rd cast wbt to sight fly, followed by others missing the fly! Changed to a dry fly. River quite cloudy and did clear as the day progressed however the wind increased, middle to top not fished due to upstream waves! Found fish rising to bo/bwo hatching midday, last fish 14ins grayling all others trout 5--8ins, all fish returned. Will try again when less windy!

7 Trout, 1 Grayling

Tough conditions for a lot of the day (gust downstream wind) but still a very good day on the river. 9 trout netted, 6 on dry fly and the others to upstream spiders. Watched some otters playing and 2 herons which made fishing difficult in some pools but still nice to see.

Fished this beat a few days earlier. What a difference today. Water clear and a perfect height, steady mixed hatch all day and fish popping up in every pool and likely lie.
Landed 22 x wbt, 4 around 10", the rest 5"-8". Experimented with lots of different dries, everything in the olive, cdc and Adams category on a size 16 hook worked.
This is as good small stream fishing gets anywhere in the world. And on your doorstep for a tenner! Magical day, thank you WUF!

Nil return apart from a few hours spent targeting the trout.

17lb Salmon (Colouring) took past mid-stream just up-stream of the big rock. 1.5ins Willie Gunn tube on sink tip. Height 2ft approx.

Quite windy, water quite high and dropping, hatch of olives around midday. All mainly taken on olive F fly.

A cloudy and mild day, plenty of hatches and fish rising. A gusty wind made casting tricky on the mid-section, but the woodland sections at either end of the beat offered more shelter and have a secluded feel to them. They take a bit of persistence to get to some parts, but it's well worth it for the scenery and tranquility.
Only one trout caught by this amateur fly fisher, but I reckon a more experienced caster could have caught a sack full. Had a fantastic time, and didn't see another soul all afternoon!

Excellent days fishing. The rainbows were in great condition and the reservoir was very scenic on the fly only part. Cats Whisker worked on this particular day.
