Feedback & Reports

8 fish caught on bottom using worm, 4 off them put back in as they were small..

No dice with trouts. Not even a tag. 1 trout jumped. Plenty of salmon running up the shallow streams between the stones, some of them clustering (4-5) by the bank pools, seemed busy, certainly weren't interested in my trout flies, and very spooky. Nice valley, lovely nature, be ready for your car to be licked by cows.

Had one but small so let go back in

Nothing caught or seen fly and spinning

A very enjoyable day on this beautiful beat - significantly enhanced by lots of advice, and a complete setup overhaul, from owner Shaun. (One should try his 'regressive energy' leader setup to achieve absolute minimum drag for the dry fly.) Fish were taking the dry opportunistically, with 3 grayling to 13" (and lots missed) and 5 trout up to 17", with the 2-pounder taking the sedge (14) in the dark and giving me a fair battle. Water temperature, improved by dam release, at about 16 degrees.

Really tough going but managed a couple of fish, biggest a nice brown about 1 1/2lb. Both taken on small perdigons. Very few rises and nymphed all of the obvious places with little to show for it.

2 Trout

Bright sunlight, light to medium breeze. Water clear and quite low throughout the beat. Fished from 13:00 to last light, dry only. No bites although fish were rising towards the end of the session.
