Feedback & Reports

Two hours evening fishing on a beat new to me. Classic small stream stuff requiring stealth and casting through,round, and under trees. Determined today to fish dry only and yet there seems to be good nymphing water. Three fish fell to olive emergers of various sorts. IOBO fly (look it up on line) seemed very effective. three chunky trout netted of a good 12 inches and fat. I have only scratched the surface with this beat and will return.

All on size 14 Parachute Adams. 5 fish downstream of bridge, 2 of these in thge pool just next to the bridge. 2 final fish upstream of the bridge. Fished all to the rise. A light hatch of mayflies, and smaller blue winged olives throughout the day.

Mayflies about in the afternoon but only a few fish rising, fished nymph below klinkhammer with all fish taking nymph. Caught and lost a few on dry mayfly pattern late afternoon.

Fished the Fly in very good weather and river conditions, however, the beat has limited fly water and access is neglected. The Bank track is considerably overgrown. Nothing caught, Nothing seen.

Lovely stretch of dry fly water and although conditions weren't perfect I had a lovely day and 5 trout up to just over 1lb. The fish were all caught on dry fly with a sedge pattern being the most successful.

3 fish caught, again on a running ledger trace using worm as bait.

Warm day with a lot of cloud cover, there were sparse hatches throughout the day and the odd Mayfly did appear. All fish taken on dries. The morning and evening were most productive, the afternoon very slow. Very little rising fish seen above the bridge to the top of the beat. All fish returned safely.
