River in great condition, fished evening, on nymph.

8 Trout

Only had a couple of hours. Great location. 1 small one on a cruncher and one beauty just under 1 lb on black ant sub surface which alone made the journey worth while

2 Trout

8 trout 7-10inches.
PTN, GRHE & Black Gnat
River low & clear
All returned

Bottom of beat,(near house),deep, not very accessable pools, you need to be able to cast better than me to fish here.
Half way along beat it opens out a bit to a succession of nice riffles & pools
Beware: 1st point of access here has a VERY LARGE WASPS NEST just where you want to put your foot to get out

In the evening had an otter porpoising across the pool down stream of the road brige at the top of the beat, 50M range & I know what a mink looks like in the water
A beatiful end to a day on the river

We both caught our 4 fish limit. All on various wet flies.

Fished both the woods and field. Groundbait feeder pellet hookbait. Had 4 barbel and 7 chub. River was dropping, nice colour.

4 Barbel, 7 Chub

Warm sunny (25C), windless day. Mill pond flat. 4 sub 1lb trout caught with black brass head nymph downstream in the faster water. Several 2-4lb trout seen but none taking anything. No salmon seen. I'll say it again, that this is a most beautiful beat and one that I will keep returning to.

We had an enjoyable day in beautifully rugged countryside and caught one wild carp of around 3lbs and two chub around the 2-3lb mark, how did the chub get in there? I take it the carp are a very old strain that were introduced in the distant past and are there any other species that you know of? Looking forward to a return visit.

2 Chub, 1 Other

Was in the area so decided to do some recon and fish where I always say I would but never do.
Gave this little trib a look. Clearly knowing this is completely not the right time of year for it. Surprising more water than expected. As the description says its canopy fishing until the hut, which is is a far as I made it today before running out of time. Did a fair bit of just walking along as well. Spoked plenty of tiddlers and even managed two perfect little trout, a push to say 4 inches. Beyond the hut looks even better, saving that for next time. Bags of potential here and will be back after a nice flush in September. As expected from this perfect little stream.
