Feedback & Reports

Difficult day, water up a bit, carrying a tinge of colour and pushing through in places. Although the air temp was up at around 10deg no sign of any fly life or surface activity. Nice day to be out and many thanks to the staff at W&U and the beat owner.

My first time fishing in the UK, and wasn’t sure what level the river was normally at. It seemed high, as there was only a foot of visibility and lots of grass submerged Caught one nice Grayling and 4 Very small fish...I think they were juvenile salmon? All caught using Czech nymphing techniques. Fished about 2 hours. Very fun!

2 x grayling 8 - 14 inches, 2 x out of season trout 12-14 inches, Pink Shrimp, Tungsten Hare's Ear and Grey Duster. Like summer again today with 20 degrees temperature, blue sky and bright sun. Fishing interesting, but quite tough with water very low and clear. Prolific growth of weed this year in the open sections. A couple of rising fish mid-afternoon.

River low and clear, my first visit to the beat so spent half the time exploring it. Nothing rising so fished the duo and picked up two out of season trout on the nymph. No sign of grayling despite fishing likely looking runs.

2 Trout

Water clear but banks overgrown and reeds in the water making some places impossible to fish. When wading a tremendous amount of silt disturbed. No rises seen at all. DG caught all but the minnow.

Arrived at midday with only a short time to fish. River was very clear and there was a good flow. Water marks on the high banks still showing how high the river must have been during the recent rain.

Managed to tempt 4 Grayling but it was difficult fishing. Quite a bit of fly life but didn’t see a rise all afternoon (except at my fly). Usual wildlife spotted and still a great afternoon out in the sunshine despite the difficult conditions. Thanks
