Feedback & Reports

The conditions looked good today. An overcast morning, with the river having good clarity and holding 0.87 on the Erwood gauge. Sadly the only salmon I saw was a recovering one moving around the margins (presumably caught in the last week or so). I fished hard through the Island, Rock Pool and the Rectory, but only managed one shad (around 1.5lb) and a tiny brownie that hammered a collie dog only marginally smaller than itself.

All less than half a pound. All caught on the Gravel and New catch. Great place to fish come the afternoon-evening light.

4 Trout, 1 Grayling

fished hard all day Assisted chap netting his 22lb fish which put up a good fight

WOW what an evening, I am still shaking. I went up to the rock pool about 6pm, two fellow anglers were there said they had seen nothing all day. I tackled up with a homemade fly, 4th cast down and bang the fish nearly took the rod from my hands, what a fight best one I have ever had, stripped my reel twice ,I had to run down the bank after it. We managed to land it in the end and my fellow angler tried to weigh it with his scales which went to 22lb and it went straight past that so we will say 25lb+ see photo's

Early start on Rectory this morning, only Shad to the fly . No silver customers showing anywhere along the beat . Water levels are dropping and in need of another rise . Nice day out though .

fished early in the morning nothing seen or touched

first cast at 5.10am up with the larks .It did not do any good though as yet another blank for me

Nothing today apart from Shad. They certainly seem to like a small red Francis. A bit disappointing really as with 1’7 on the gauge ,it was lovely fly water throughout along with a couple of salmon showing in The Run and the Rock Pool.
