Feedback & Reports

Difficult but enjoyable day. Strong wind and hail at times but with sunny periods to compensate. Not much fly life showing and very few fish rising so most of the time fishing with nymphs and a braided leader or Klink as an indicator. 5 brown trout up to 1 Ib caught with probably another 3 or 4 lost. All trout returned.

The river was in beautiful condition with plenty of fish evident although a cold NW wind and temperature of just 10C made fishing difficult. There were sporadic hatches of olives and March Browns from 11.00 but no rising fish until a slight increase in temperature around 14.00. Even then they were only in sheltered pockets under trees on the far side. In the end each angler got one fish of about 10-11 inches on a Parachute Adams and Gold Head PTN. They were both in great condition with one returned and one kept for the pot.

None caught, only a couple of takes. Nice day, though and conditions were good with reasonable hatch.

Although never exactly pleasant, today's conditions were far more fly and fish friendly. Overcast and breezy all with occasional light rain. There was no activity of note until 1pm, when March Browns started hatching in decent numbers with a smattering of LDOs. The fish duly responded, providing excellent dryfly sport throughout the afternoon. 9 fish between 10-15", all on March Brown Jingler.
