Feedback & Reports

Overcast and dry on arrival, and the water looked just right. A downpour at around midday tiggered some life, and as soon as the rain stopped, a hatch started, and I was treated to some great sport. I managed to secure 2 good Grayling, and 2 Trout off the top (and missed loads more) using an Olive Emerger and a small Adams. Other fish were caught using weighted nymphs fished upstream - the wind in my favour for once. Bright sun throughout the afternoon presented a challenge, though I had plenty of nips and pulls fishing through the deeper runs. All fish safely returned.
My first time on this Beat, and only fished a section. I'll definitely return in the near future to try the rest of the water.
Thanks.

5 Trout, 2 Grayling

Long hard day, fished fly and spinner , fished every pool from top to bottom with no salmon seen or caught. Did have a grayling about 2lb on a salmon fly

Nada to report on the salmo front

River level low, fresh weather affecting fly life. 2 small brownies and 1 larger around 1lb all taken on nymphs from the deeper water.

River running high, after a days spinning no salmon seen or caught. Lovely beat and will be back.

Despite low water, managed a number of trout to about 3/4 lb while salmon fishing, but lost a much larger fish mid afternoon. All taken [and lost] on a single, barbless hook, size 4 gold mepps.

With brilliant sunshine to enjoy I knew it would be a difficult days fishing even sharing the beat with a couple of Salmon anglers. Started under the bridge Czech nymphing with 2.5mm jig hooked flies. Not a lot of action even with a good flow coming down. Fished right up to the head of the run and picked up a nice 8/10 inch trout sitting in the slack water. Moved up passed the hut to the Gutter & picked a nice grayling on a jig hook. Even had a go on the dry fly and missed two takes. Nice to be out on such a nice day and able to fish more of this beat.
