Feedback & Reports

Brighter day after yesterday's showers, fractionally more water in the river managed two trout on micro nymphs in the morning and 5 trout on dry fly's in the evening.

With a cold downstream wind and river slightly coloured and swollen by the previous days rain I felt a bit out of my depth (no pun intended). By the middle of the afternoon there was a steady hatch that excited the Flycatchers but not the fish. Just one visible rise all day. When I resorted to fishing down and across with a couple of wets and a heavy nymph on the point I finally had some success. Two beautiful Brown Trout to the net, so I went away fully content. Just being on that beat is a privilege.

First time at this beat, and very lovely it is. Warm sunny day. River was very coloured - almost a washoff, so no chance of any dry fly action. I decided to persevere with nymphs.

My first visit to this beat. A beautiful place to spend a damp morning. Three trout to a weighted Pheasant Tail nymph.
Shared the water with a busy Kingfisher.

Classic combat fishing below the bridge wading up the stream through riffles and pools fallen trees overgrown trees barbed wire and flood debris.
Wouldn’t have any other way. Great day
