Feedback & Reports

Very little sign of fly life when I started, so I put a PTN on the point and a GRHE on the dropper and started to work my way down from the bottom of the steps. Caught a very active fish of about 11" with my 5th cast. Connected with, but lost what felt like a very good fish further down and then changed to a dry sedge as a few fish began to rise. Action stopped mid afternoon and no further rises, so packed up at about 5.30 pm. I am sure there are good fish there, but this was not their day!

A great beat with some lovely runs and lies. Water was clear and fast and a great hatch of caddis occurred for most of the day. 2 x fish caught and returned. One on a dry caddish the other on a hares nymph. Too bright for the most part but a wonderful day.

Nice sunny warm day. Minimal grannom & very occasional rise. Nil else hatching. Nil caught. Disappointing.

Very cold by the Beacons this Sunday, both wind and water. Water level high and quite dark - clearly recent rains still having an impact. Good days fishing, but nothing caught...
Did see a small hatch around 2pm of dark olives, but no fish rose.

Water temperature still too low, despite sun on part of the beat and an air temp of 11degC.

No fish caught. Had a few hits. River levels ok.

Short of time - only managed 3 hours due to work. Nothing much happening for 2 and half hours - then things started to pick up. Lost two nice fish in the last 20 minutes before I had to go! Such a shame to have to leave just as the fish came on.
I say I'd come back, and maybe I would but I think the price tag is quite hefty compared to others for the size of the beat. It's always nice to try new beats though.

An afternoon and evening fishing. Water low and clear. Several periods where fish feeding on nymphs but could not seem to interest them in any from my selection. A few takes but no fish to the net.
