Feedback & Reports

According to Nathan, the very helpful ghillie who met us with a lovely cup of tea at the hut, the river was in perfect nick. Bang on height, decent clarity, a tad cold to be fair but an overcast day, so no bothersome sunlight ... the trouble is that the place was devoid of fish! Absolutely as dead as a doornail, which was a shame there is some lovely water, particularly for the fly along 'Little Run' pool and 'Cockpit'. There is also one other thing visiting anglers should note. Although 'Cadora' is listed as one of the best spots on the beat, apparently if the members fishing the other bank are on Cadora, then you are not allowed to fish it! It causes trouble we were told. However, this ought to be pointed out in the blurb as technically it could be construed as mis-description of the beat.

Water in good condition and level also good.
No sign of any fish!

1 salmon seen but didn't manage to tempt it with a number of different coloured flying
C, 1 pike at the end of the day on a purple flying c 14/15 lb Nathan the Ghillie was an absolute pleasure and very helpful would recommend anyone visiting this beat to use his services

1 Pike

Lovely day by the river, bright sunshine so not great for fishing, also great water clarity so we were able to see some salmon lying in the river in Cock Pit pool, a few fish showed during the day, but nothing taking our flies!

Although my brother got a cracking 15lb bonus pike on a yellow flying condom from the Cadora pool.

All in all, a good day helped along by a cracking bank side lunch!

Didn’t fish as it was flooded

Great day out.
