Feedback & Reports

Just one trout caught and returned, about 14 inches in length. Caught on Adams dry fly - a few bites missed as well on the same fly. Great beat with a number of interesting looking pools. WUF and fishery directions etc. both excellent.

Good day-not much rising but the ones that did took. Saw two cormorants working the water and found two spinners caught on rocks: a good day, thanks.

Mixed weather,sun & showers. Water a little high and coloured. 2 WBT taken, one to 2 lbs both long deep nymphing in gullys etc. Many more missed probably due to a lack of concentration! Lovely day on varied and interesting beat. Wading not easy and a wading staff an absolute must. Some fly life, mostly caddis.

We hoped to find the river level falling after rain. It was, but it was higher than we expected, and the Fenni Fach beat was only fishable with a fly about tea time. Perhaps we should have been spinning for salmon. Caught three trout about half a pound.

Perfect conditions for a day on my favourite beat, unfortunately the fish didn't want to feed of the top. All fish taken on nymphs, mainly from using the klink and dink method and the others from upstream nymphing. General size of 10" and one nice fish of 16". A few bigger fish dropped as they leaped wildly out of the water. Disappointingly I had to report a group of young men spinning at lower end of the best to the environment agency. No news on the follow up thought!

Unfortunately I caught no fish but this, I'm guessing, is a lot more to do with my experience (or lack of) than a lack of trout. Fishing mostly New Zealand style with weighted hairs ears on the point and a klink as the dry. I'll definitely be back for another go at those pesky trout.
Thanks for an amazing experience in such a beautiful place.

Weather was better than forecasted, but water levels were very low. All fish taken on heavy nymphs fished in the deeper, faster water as expected. Two nice trout to 16" remainder between 6" and 10". A lot of nice fish seen in the shallower slow water, but they were easily spooked. Not many fish rising to the abundance of caddis hatching throughout the day. Good day on a lovely beat.

Fine 12oz brown taken just above Highwell pool, on a Greenwell spider (wet fly). Low water so barely any need for waders. Good hatch of mayfly (or similar, I'm not good at identification) but very few rises. A few bites at Vicarage pool but that was if for the day. Humid. This is s beautiful stretch; saw dippers and a pair of kingfishers.

Fished an evening ticket (after 17:00) and started at about half-five in extremely humid conditions. A steady trickle of various colour mayflies coming off and fish rising fairly steadily; to the point that we were preoccupied for the first hour with covering rising fish in the slow sections - ones we seemed to spook bar a 1lb WBT taken on a spider of all things.
Leapfrgging up through the faster was where the action was more consistent. Four fish of 8-9oz were taken on Parachute Adams, Sherry Spinner and GRHE before fading light stopped us just short of Poplar pool. The fish were still rising with alacrity when we left and we only did so because wading was becoming very tricky indeed in the gloaming.
A beautiful stretch and one which we'll visit very soon to cover the four-fifths we didn't even look at!

All trout caught on dry fly (elk hair caddis, red body gold rib). Lovely stretch of water & hope to return soon.
