Feedback & Reports

First time fishing this beat. The brook looks lovely and for a wild stream the access was reasonable. Level was good and the water was slightly cloudy with a whitish tinge. I fished probably about 3/4 of a mile of the beat mainly on a single nymph or a pair. Tried a dry fly on a few occasions. I had absolutely no interest to either dries or nymphs and saw absolutely no sign of fish. Having looked at the catch returns it makes me wonder about the fish stocks as on a stream like this i would normally expect to find fish even if small. As a personal observation fishing seems to be getting poorer year on year.

Lovely afternoon between showers Hindwell is still a bit high but very clear Started at bottom bridge caught only trout half way up first field pn gold beaded ptn about 7 inches hooked and lost 1 maybe bigger fish

A day of frustration and disappointment is how I would sum up this visit. Throughout the whole day I never saw or heard a rising fish but I did see a large American Mink hunting on the bank and in the river! I did manage a 10 inch trout right at the death in a pool on a grhe. River was low very overgrown and new downed trees are also present. I probably won't bother with the Hindwell again which is a shame because I really like it. It's too overgrown, not only with brambles, but the lower tree canopies spoil the fishing and the newer downed trees are not removed. It used to be great, not anymore.

Nice to be out in the September sunshine, and I can only offer that, and the very low water levels for a blank day. My first visit here this year, there are a lot of big fallen trees in and across the brook. But then, it’s a wild stream.

First time on this stream parked bottom end by the ford, slightly overgrown but very fishable. Access although electric wire around edge not a problem manage to winkle one small 6" trout up to the surface with a Greenwells glory didn't see many but I'm sure with more ability more would have been caught . Will be back, maybe next week.

Good water level on a bright, hot day. No surface activity. 3 trout to a goldhead hares ear nymph in the deeper runs. 2 were nudging 1lb mark. Casting difficult in a lot of the lower section. With a lot of fallen trees to navigate. Lovely spot.

Lovely spot - its as much about exploring a steam and enjoying the countryside as catching fish. Parked mid-way by the ford/footbridge and went upstream to another footbridge. Had two pulls, landing one lovely looking12 incher. Only fished 1 hour max.
