Feedback & Reports

Spent the morning with Adam Fisher, a guide based in Ross. I wanted to learn a bit more about watercraft and the holding areas of the fish. He put me in amongst them and I pulled out a sizable wild brown followed by a smaller offering that took the klink and dink method practically at my feet.
Later that day after Adam had left I put all of my new knowledge to task and caught the best fish of the day on the Island run. A very interesting beat, with a school of barbel and spawning lampreys spotted from the bridge.
If like me you have struggled to catch and need to know a few secrets of the river, I recommend sourcing a guide for a half day or more. Could make all the difference next time.

Another hot day and with the water level dropping and nothing other than a very tentative bite in the Neck of Rectory by 10.30 am, I moved to The Mumbles for some bass fishing!

Very hot day and no salmon seen. Love the new hut and brew facility - great place to take a break! Small hatch of flies around lunch time and trout were taking them.
I saw 3 large lampreys spawning in the middle of the river just a few feet up stream from the bridge. They were about 3 or 4 feet long and a sight I've never seen before.

First time on this beat. Weather was under par, with a cold north westerly and rain showers. Minimal success with missed takes on GH nymphs and then klinkhammers. Had one on for the briefest moment of excitement and then alas, the line like my luck went very slack. I shall return. Fish be ready.
