Feedback & Reports

Arrived mid morning, 1 angler fishing the most accessible swim halfway along far (Right) bank had already landed 4 Barbel. Opted for L/H Bank and fished last swim which was difficult with only minimal hard standing. Started ok with an early chub (that took me atraight into the big snag but evenyually swam out again) but then frustrated throughout day with lots of Chub bites to no avail until 5pm.
As mentioned here elsewhere large snag about 1/3 rd way across just before overhanging tree, eventually found most productive area for bits was almost midway across river (though difficult to cast to). In next 2 hours had 2 Barbel (7.5 biggest) and 2 more Chub with bites more confident in fading light. All caught on pellet feeder. Now I know the stretch would be inclined to go back with a more mobile/roving approach as 3 or 4 good swims on each bank.
Very enjoyable venue - be careful you dont drive past the bridge, it's well concealed !

Three salmon hooked briefly, three more pulls. Nothing landed. Only three fish showed all day.

Nice day (too nice?) with clear water and clear sky. Despite this, we managed 9 barbel and 3 chub from 6 swims dotted about the fishery. Despite gloomy reports from some, this seems a good beat with reasonable access and a fair number of open swims.

A very nice fishery with a lot of swims to choose from. The river level was dropping with colour coming out. We ended up with 5 barbel 4lb to 8lb 3oz & 6 chub.
Thanks to WUF we will be back.

Sorry, nothing to report.

Water conditions appeared good but no salmon caught or touched. Maybe I can blame the bright sunshine? A few fish seen moving but no great number.
We stayed two nights at Gromain Cottage B+B which was fine and convenient.

Water level having dropped overnight I fished Legg Meadow. No fish until late afternoon when 3 barbel, 1 chub and 1 eel were taken.

1 Brown Trout, 12" put back, not many fish seen.

2 salmon caught, first took a yellow Flamethrower, size 9 at 9am at the upper part of Abernant steam. Fish was about 9lbs. Second fish was caught at Lady Alexanders Catch at 1pm and took a orange Flamethrower, size 9 and weighed about 14lbs. The best 25 quid I have ever spent!!!

Had another good day fishing today. Well, a brilliant day in fact. Fished Gromain all day from 9.30am, had couple of knocks through the afternoon then returned to the Willow Pool to have my last half hour fishing at 3.30pm. After about 10 casts I caught a hen salmon of 15.5lbs, my biggest ever salmon caught on a size 10 Black Salar Piglet fly which took me around 15 to 20 mins to land. This fish was fresh been in the river couple of weeks maybe. Absolutely mint condtion lovely fish and gave a brilliant fight. The fish recovered very quickly and gave a good strong swim back to the river.
