A day of frustration and disappointment is how I would sum up this visit. Throughout the whole day I never saw or heard a rising fish but I did see a large American Mink hunting on the bank and in the river! I did manage a 10 inch trout right at the death in a pool on a grhe. River was low very overgrown and new downed trees are also present. I probably won't bother with the Hindwell again which is a shame because I really like it. It's too overgrown, not only with brambles, but the lower tree canopies spoil the fishing and the newer downed trees are not removed. It used to be great, not anymore.

Nice to be out in the September sunshine, and I can only offer that, and the very low water levels for a blank day. My first visit here this year, there are a lot of big fallen trees in and across the brook. But then, it’s a wild stream.

First time on this stream parked bottom end by the ford, slightly overgrown but very fishable. Access although electric wire around edge not a problem manage to winkle one small 6" trout up to the surface with a Greenwells glory didn't see many but I'm sure with more ability more would have been caught . Will be back, maybe next week.

Good water level on a bright, hot day. No surface activity. 3 trout to a goldhead hares ear nymph in the deeper runs. 2 were nudging 1lb mark. Casting difficult in a lot of the lower section. With a lot of fallen trees to navigate. Lovely spot.

Lovely spot - its as much about exploring a steam and enjoying the countryside as catching fish. Parked mid-way by the ford/footbridge and went upstream to another footbridge. Had two pulls, landing one lovely looking12 incher. Only fished 1 hour max.

Nice amount of water, but the number of large fallen trees really spoil this beat, only sign of life were crayfish, otter prints and remains of at least three crayfish and otter spraint on a large pebble, assuming tney are signal crayfish by their size and blue colour, at least the otter is thinning them out! Slower pools had distinct grey/blue tinge to the water, sawmill? Who knows, but not as bad as the Wye below Hereford, shameful whats happened to our local rivers and streams over the last ten years. Ideal salmon spawning stream but no sign of part or any fish for that matter! Nil point!
