Feedback & Reports

Pretty stretch of river & a fair amount of fence climbing & nettle bashing with my wading stick to access some stretches; I think I needed a little more stealth on the day. Spent a lot of time standing in the water changing flies/leaders trying to find the magic pattern to attract the bigger trout. A lot of tiny ??dace & salmon parr taking the smaller offerings. Did manage one decent trout in the end. Had the company of a herd of very sociable bullocks on & off throughout the day. Wonderful day thank you.

Lugg was quite low. Only v small stuff taking off the top hence no catch number registered. On yeah, and got chased by cattle as I exited the water before the weir.

Fish topping everywhere, ideal conditions and beautiful beat. Most fish produced at the bottom of the beat in deeper water. Will be returning again soon!

I was expecting more for a 20£ beat. The access from bank is very bad in the marked areas. However, it is too deep to cross wading. In summary, the beat has one nice spot, the weir at the beginning and that's it.

Good few hour's fishing. Fish rising all the time I was there. Fish taken off the top and deep on gold heads. Weather was overcast and warm.

A beautiful bright sunny day and very low, clear water made this a blank in terms of fish caught. Managed to get one or two trout to rise to a dryfly without takes; rises very sporadic and fish were mainly well down and out of the way due to the unfavourable conditions. But a lovely way to spend a day in such peaceful countryside. Barbel and chub observed in deeper lies beneath trees.

Sunny and hot. Found the farm easily. Car parking well signed. Lovely peaceful beat. Could see a few trout from the footbridge. Fish rising in the shady pools. Hooked into one but was broken off. Took a 10" grayling, my first ever, on beaded GRHE in pool next to fallen tree. Got a fish to rise to a dry but it didn't take despite 3 or 4 attempts.
Water low and cattle a little too friendly. Looking forward to coming back to this beat in the autumn.

Tenkara Day. Conditions cloudy with sunny intervals occasional thunderstorms. River placid. Tenkara fishing. 1 grayling approx 9ins on dogs body. First time fishing here. Very enjoyable. Would be difficult to find if didn't follow someone who knew beat.

Fished a variety of dry flies and nymphs. Plenty of wbt seen, unfortunately none caught. Caught 3 grayling at end of session. Beautiful beat, thoroughly enjoyed the day and will be returning in the future.
