Water was up 6" and still had a little colour, so I was optimistic. Not many rising, so I used nymphs. All 11 fish were small - nothing over 1lb - and they seemed to prefer a pheasant tail nymph.

A friend and I booked the day, we arrived on the beat about 8.30am, it was raining slightly, but conditions were perfect. We parked the car about 300m down from the last fishing hut, not far from the pipe bridge. Fish were rising all day, but the river was low, we could have done with about another foot of water. We caught 4 brown trout in total, as well as losing 2 more. All 4 fish were less than a pound.

We both started off with wet flies, coachman, but as the day progressed and we fished some slower parts we moved to dry flies, cadiss and olives. We will definitely book again, but maybe a month earlier when there is more depth.

Just as a note for the instructions on how to find the beat, they were perfect, what3words is a great tool, the only thing I would say is there were no white pegs to follow and as soon as you go through the gate with the combination lock, turn left on to the grass and follow the vehicle marks along the river.

Most caught on perdigons, the others on streamers. Largest just under three pounds.

Ten (!) Inflatable boats drifted through the beat during the day.

Fish were rising for the first hour when I got there in the morning, difficult to tempt and missed the only rise to my dry fly, after that all went quiet on the surface. Fished nymphs in the faster water and landed five trout, one was about 2.5lb on a hares ear nymph, the others up to a pound. Also had two chub up to 1.5lb.
