Feedback & Reports

Beautiful river, water was low but still fish rising and although hard the fishing was rewarding. Will definitely be visiting again in the near future.

River was clear, down stream gusts between 9.30am & 11am made casting v hard, 0 fish caught in this period.
Rises at 7am & 11.30am most notable. First visit to a WUF beat - fantastic spot, good accessible fishing. Many thanks.

Lovely day, but full bright sun kept fish down. Picked up one wbt on mayfly around 6pm. Left at 8pm for a beer in the Bell. On leaving, at 9pm, saw several rises near bridge. Nice water, but just too bright today.

Nothing caught.

Very nice spot, perfect for easy wading and walking, few bites on dryflies no fish landed river low at the moment.

We fished from 1700 to 2200. The river was surprisingly colored, and a difficult wind. Our three fish were about 2/3 lb.

Very few rises despite lots of small insects (gnats) over the water + yellow insects emerging and being taken by birds (sorry, no expert at identification).
Caught one 14" brown trout on a nymph. Companion caught similar fish and two small (5") brown on dry flies.

A good morning followed by a wet afternoon. Water was 50% coloured but fish were rising and Mayfly hatching throughout. My one trout, an 8 inch brownie, I'm a newcomer to river fishing, took an Elk but I also got bites on winged nymphs and very small brown dries.
Most rises seen down by the end of the beat at the stream. An enjoyable day but cut short by the weather which can't be helped.

Perfect conditions - quite warm, no wind, overcast. But very little surface activity and only a few mayfly. We persisted with the dry fly throughout, prospecting likely spots but only getting very occasional tentative rises. One fish of two pound plus lost and one slightly smaller caught.

Total catch: 6 WBT 6-12" and 1 surprise sea trout smolt 7".
Good hatch of Mayfly and olives during the day, but most action was in the evening when there was a terrific Mayfly spinner fall on one of the upper pools.
This is a long beat, but you don't need to venture more than halfway down to find great fishing. The fish are pretty spooky, and generally you only get one chance – so cast carefully!
Will definitely be back.
