Feedback & Reports

First trip out this year – spring has been early and river was low…. Temperature didn’t get above 5 degrees and we fished through snow flurries interspersed with bright sunshine. Occasional LDOs and March Browns were hatching together with a lot of small midges. A few fish rose occasionally but no major consistent hatch or rise while we were on the river. Two WBT hooked … one got off, the other came to hand, a nice 14” fish safely returned as always. Then about 2.30pm a black cloud and white out could be seen coming down the valley – time to beat a hasty retreat!

Sunny with an easterly upstream wind. MB sporadic hatch from 12:00 to 13:00. Lots of rises during the hatch and then the fish switched off

Hi

River very low and clear with little surface activity until the last hour of daylight when there was a mixed hatch. Would concur with other comments on difficulty of access to much of the stretch at this time of the year.

Water very low and quiet. All rises were worth pursuing and seemed more vigorous towards the later afternoon. 1 trout on a spider.

Lovely beat , challenging fishing in low conditions . Two trout caught on dries , lost a better one . Highlight was watching two otters playing in the bottom pool . I Chased off three poachers with spinning gear !

Finally broke my duck on my nemesis beat with two trout on dries in faster water mid afternoon. Lovely spot but could do with better access to the lower end of the beat
