Feedback & Reports

A really lovely day’s fishing despite the near-record temperatures. Water very low for the valley but still lots of deep areas. Tough fishing given the conditions and the lethargy of the trout but a few bites, which were earned the hard way. Glorious beat, even in this heat, and whichever band had arrived at the Studios to record kindly allowed us to refill our water bottles (I hope they weren’t famous enough that I should have recognised them!).
Absolutely stunning stretch of the Morrow, lots of deep water even in a drought/heatwave, some lovely stone “beaches” to set up camp in the shade in. Very much recommended.

The water level was low, the conditions were overcast. Only saw a single fish move all day. Access to the river is well signposted and cleared but access points are very limited and in places very steep. The banks are very overgrown which makes wading a necessity for casting. Wading is straightforward but there are some very deep sections which cannot be waded which makes back tracking to the nearest cleared bank access necessary. Although I did not catch any fish I will definitely return as it is a beautiful part of the world and a lovely looking river.

Lovely area to fish, the river fairly low with a good amount of fly coming off the water, but not many fish rising. Fished dry fly managed two but put a lot of fish down as wading towards them in low almost stationary water. Also saw three mink working the banks.

Warm sunny day with occasional breeze. Water low & clear with a few mayfly hatching throughout the day but little action on the water. 1 10" Grayling taken on a Duracell Nymph during the morning & 1 10" Brownie on a Pink Mary in the afternoon

Fewer rises than the day before . Small splashy rises couldnt see what was being taken. Caught fish on small emergers. Weather fine water low and clear.

Saw some, moved a few, connected with 3, landed 1!
Nice WBT of about half a pound. We only fished dry and focused on the runs and riffles. The top end of the best being more active than the bottom. Tough fishing for sure
