Feedback & Reports

My first time here and a tough day fishing wise, river getting very low with very few aquatic insects coming off, the only real hatch of the day was of the tiniest upwings I’ve ever seen, these were then joined by a very limited number of larger insects, just enough to get the odd fish to show itself once or twice if you were lucky.
However I managed to find enough to keep me fishing dries and enjoyed some very stealthy wading targeting difficult fish but at the end of the day only one was brought to hand, this may sound like a lousy days fishing but it was thoughly enjoyable with fish lost and missed during the day. There are some wonderful dry fly flats which would make fantastic fishing with a decent hatch, I’ll definitely be back.

River very low, and the fish were concentrating more in the fast water and deeper pools. Very bright and difficult conditions all in all. 1 fish taken of about 1lb.

Very hot and sunny, very low water, very little surface activity. Used nymphs and drys. Nothing doing.

It rained hard for most not the day and I saw little fish activity and negligible fly life. It was, however, very good to be on such a beautiful stretch of the river.

Heavy rain on and off. 5 on nymphs 3 on dry fly emerger

An outstanding days fishing! Having struggled on other beats the previous couple of days, the fish were rising to my dry (parachute adams) all day. Lost count of how many fish were landed, two of which were 3lb plus, and lost several more. Penpont never fails!

Two very satisfactory fish of 1lb plus each caught on a wet fly. Conditions ideal.
