Feedback & Reports

Despite heavy rain during the previous night and the day of fishing, the river remained low and fishable. There are some great pools on this beat but it cannot be accessed fully from one parking position, unless you are willing to walk a long way on a slippery boulder & large stone bed. At higher water, you would definitely have to come from the bank and access from different locations. We fished the bridge and the pools above, on the bend. There were a variety of different size and colour olives around but the fish took small dark emergers and dry flies. Despite the weather being cold and damp, the fish did continue to rise for several hours. We stayed at the Highside campsite, which is only a few miles from the beat and close to Middleton in Teesdale. Small friendly site, excellent facilities. We will be back to the campsite & the beat.

Beautiful river and surroundings. Too sunny for fishing but very enjoyable
