Windy but river OK with a touch of colour - only fished a couple of hours, 1 trout 1lb on nymph.

Water was very discolored saw no fish even though there were plenty of flies, insects around. Talking with a local he commented how the fish had disappeared from these waters over the last few years. A little disappointing.

Lovely day's fishing. Very pretty beat, with a mix of easy and challenging fishing. The trout though were not in abundance. Water still cool, no rises seen, pretty hard going.

The river was a little high, but unusually very coloured for most of the day (perhaps there was some river work further upstream?). The weather was clear and sunny, around 15 degrees, no wind. The water was still very cold and there was only a small hatch around the middle of the day, with no fish rising all day. The fish did respond to deep nymph tactics, with the best trout around 12 inches and a bonus grayling over 2 lb. Lovely day to start a late season.

Nice weather but the fishing wasn't so good. No fish caught, no hits or follows. Only saw one rise the whole time I was there. Very unusual for this beat as its normally teeming with fish. Maybe its the time of year?

Still had a good day out in the countryside and peace and quiet!

Water still very high ,still snow on higher ground .windy and cold.

Very cold, intermittent snow. Water was coloured with poor visibility, only one fish seen - rising amongst a knot of branches in the thickly wooded part of the beat and impossible to reach. An attractive stretch and looks worth returning to when it's warm. The map may need updating as sheep fencing means that there is no access to much of the Southern bank. This isn't really a problem though as the river is so small.

Nothing caught or seen. River running very fast and quite high. No sign of fly life as cold and windy in morning. When the sun broke through mid afternoon we thought things might improve but all hopes dashed as for some reason the water started running brown which really spoilt what might have been a nice afternoon.

River running fast and a little high but not to bad a colour, weather fine but cool. Unfortunately as weather warmed up in the afternoon someone upstream of Eyton must have been working on the river as it started to run very coloured and made fishing a total waste of time, I wish we had known this was going to happen as we would have saved our money and holiday for another day!!!!! Needless to say nothing caught or seen.

Full up river with lots of colour, access to wade very limited. It was out with the heavy nymphs, success, one small grayling after a couple of hours. A good day.
