Feedback & Reports

Sunny breezy day. An F Fly tempted a few fish to rise, but a Hawthorne got the best response.

1 Trout, 3 Grayling

Salmon 10 and 12 lbs both caught yellow flying C water about 2'6" on local gauge. Caught between 3 and 4pm pipes pool. Both safely returned.

A great day all round. Weather partly cloudy with a stiffish downstream and chilly breeze but nothing that could not be dealt with.
Fished the lower end of the beat starting from the bend and landed a 6 incher that fell to a self tied gold head HE monstrosity and another just before lunch. Partridge and orange and my trusty waterhen bloa did not produce so changed the setup to black spider and grey watchett (I like to fish N Country spiders). The black landed one and I released a further three from distance so could not tell what enticed them.
I am not sure what constitutes a decent water depth but I was wading in water between 2 and 3 feet. Water was running clear so with the wind creating a ripple made for good fishing conditions. Not much in the way of insect activity which was matched by lack of fishy activity on the surface. Plenty of weeny midgy types that attracted the birds.
Gravel wading making conditions underfoot very easy indeed, a pleasure to wade in fact. My season ticket will be put to good use. Many thanks.

3 trout about 8oz and 1 trout about 4oz. May I suggest, please, that someone looks at this beat. It looks a mess with plastic rubbish and has a poor "feel" about it.

It was very warm and sunny day. The Problem was the lack of fishing space, It got better when the 9 people who had been fishing all night packed up their tents and barbque's and went home. The fishing was good and we had a good catch of decient size perch as well as a few small Browns.

Weather was warm and Sunny, with plenty of fly life. Fish were being selective but there were some good fish moving. Largest fish taken of 1 3/4 lb on Parachute Adams, another very big fish lost on olive CDC.

Nice warm day, lots of fly life including Mayflies but little or no surface feeding from the trout. Two trout to hand on weighted nymphs.

Great days fishing catching mostly yellow Mayfly on the surface. Fish from 6 inches to 16 inches (ish). Healthy fish and fought well. Made it to the end of the beat with a reward of two pints of Butty and a beef cheak sandwich. Perfect!

A nice beat with easy access and wading. I struggled today, catching just two small fish on weighted GRHEs. A steady trickle of March Browns enticed a few fish to feed, especially some nice looking fish by High Bank but I couldn't tempt them.
