Feedback & Reports

No sign of trout, but two nice grayling. One came to a ptn, the second - close on 2 lb - to a dry fly. Fish rising to black gnats exclusively.

A beautiful stretch of water with many interesting runs and pools. Unfortunately the strong cold downstream wind made fishing difficult and the fish uncooperative with only one rising fish found all day, despite walking the majority of the beat. Nothing caught this time but I will return when conditions are more favourable.

Some grannom about, but no great response from the fish. Cought 2 grayling, the best just over a pound, both to a dry fly.

A few Olives were coming off the water form mid day onwards.
Not a lot else had two grayling 12" one 14" and one big brownie, all on the dry. Not easy fishing but well worth the effort.

Not surprisingly, given the weather, we caught nothing. But it was nice to be out and about.

Rod 1, Rob J, Trotting had 4 grayling and a 3.15lb chub.

Rod 2, Jem C, On his birthday, Had 2 grayling 2lb 5oz specimen and a high 1lber. He was happy.

Rod 3, Ash T, Had small salmon parr in the am then bagged up on grayling in the pm. Most fish 1lb plus.

Rod 4, Warren H, Had a 2.08lb trout in the am then had 4 grayling 1.09lb, 1.07lb and 2 at 1.04lb.

Hard to find the fish during the day. In the last hour they came alive, it was like turning on a tap.

Awesome beat, will be back for sure.

Not a good day at all, we tried all methods in all the usual places. Not a lot more to report really, other than to state the obvious. Not one sighting or take of any description for either of us all day. It's very unusual to come away without even a touch between the pair of us on this beat as we have had reasonable success in the past.
