Feedback & Reports

This beat holds a lot of good fish, numerous pools that all seemed to hold decent sized grayling. only problem is its impossible to reach a lot of the water as its so overgrown. I got lost at one point trying to get through the 8ft high Himalayan balsam, Still, the bits you can get to are really productive.

12 Grayling

In the description is mentions 1.5 miles of River, however a lot of the river is behind barbed wire fences and most of the banks are over grown making access very difficult - once you eventually find an entry point to the river you then have a few 100 yards of fishing before having to exit eithe due to silt or too deep to wade or both, exit through the undergrowth to find another entry point. This beat is so neglected and might better fished in the Winter or after and "agent orange" raid - we did manage to catch a few graying, not tront caught or seen. Did not fish the upper part through the woods as I left my machette at home - not sure I will be back. 8 Grayling caught mostly on PTN's

Hot day on a clear river but fish were in the mood to play . Grayling to 1lb and trout all about half pound.
Thanks to W&U and fishery owner.

Great to be back on the local stretch for an evening session. The OOS grayling were out in force and hard to avoid catching, especially in the bridge section. Managed two hefty trout though, one from right under the footbridge comfortably nudging over 1lb and fought like a demon. Cheers WUF.

A lovely beat with nice fish seen. Easy wading for the most part, except in the forest section where parts were a little tricky. Couldn't tempt any to bite at all.

To many trees in way

An afternoon/evening session hoping for a mayfly hatch. There weren’t many around, although the trout did lock on for half an hour in the evening, beautiful fat and colourful Lugg fish as usual, best 14”. A few pea in a pod 8 inch grayling getting ready for the season to open too. Last knockings a couple of fish were rising under the footbridge – James twitched a mayfly over them which got hammered and a good fish charged down the pool, despite his best efforts it got under the bushes and that was that. Never mind, 10 seemed like a good evening.
