Feedback & Reports

after a morning on the Longtown beat [ see report] got here just after lunch time , even hotter now , with in 50 yrds of starting saw a rise so put an olive over it second cast got it about 10" nice very lively fish then more olives than you could shake a stick at no more rises so after a good try went for the nymph not a nudge, knock ,nothing did not see another fish and left at 3pm the weather very very hot and once again needs some water to just colour the water just a bit.

Gin clear river and very tough conditions with bright sun. The fish were not active, and the water was still very cold. Managed to scratch a couple out on nymphs. Winter floods have changed some of the beat.

First time at this beat. I found it was over grown with steep banks and barb wire fencing so being a senior it was to dangerous to carry on sliding down the banks and having to crawl out . so had to call it a day it’s a shame you can’t have a look at the beats before you book

fished from 7-11am nothing caught, first time on a stream so i suggest it was lack of knowledge a very beautiful setting

10 - 13” caught on Duo. All returned.

Overcast and quite cold for the time of year, with an intermittent swirling wind. Normal height, strong flow. Fish all looking very healthy, varying from approx 8-12”. Missed quite a few too.

River very high, able to wade in places but lots of debris.

Honddu on form with a drop in water temperatures and recent flush of water. Trout from 6 to 17 inches and 1 graying of 10 inches. Mixture of nymphing and 'duo'.
