Bright and clear, low water. 2 small trout caught and returned at sewage pool, on a small dry fly at dusk.

Fished remarkably well considering the low water level and hot conditions. Trout rising regularly to olives. Caught on on PTN and hares's ear and rose several fish on parachute Adams and CDC olives. All fish returned in good condition.

A lovely, but hot day. The water was very low, but plenty of trout in evidence. Very difficult fishing as the water was also gin clear. A fabulous beat though. Quite a lot of small trout caught and returned, but nothing over 8oz.

Good morning. Although the area is stunning we had some pretty poor conditions. The temperature was 27deg plus and the river was very very low. We both used dry fly throughout. The largest of the 3 was about 3/4lb, the other two were appreciably smaller. The river temp was quite high and the few fish we saw had little cover and were very skittish. Saying that the fish caught were in very good condition.
We will try again later in the season and hope for better conditions. Regards.

River low & clear: 3 small trout on upstream nymphs by my fishing partner.

Very strong downstream wind made any upstrem method very difficult. None the less a nice stretch of river.

With the wind blowing and the rain a constant feature we explored this stretch using various nymphs either as a duo or with a French leader. Upstream of parking produced a cracking brown trout in the morning! At the faster water down from the bridge, 5 big trout were hooked but only the little ones were coaxed into the net! Frustrating as each bite was worked hard for! All in a great beat with some good features to fish to! Would like to return when the spring is no longer confused with Winter!

4 trout caught 2 returned. All caught on klinkhammers. 2 salmon spotted very close to bank on house side but not interested in anything.
Water low which meant great wading. An excellent beat with great directions. I look forward to returning. The whole booking process couldn't have been easier.
Spotted a mink on the far side of the bank.

Tough days fishing with the river low and clear. rose several fish but failed to connect with most. Finally hooked a good fish of around 3lbs, caught on a PTN fished NZ style.

No fish caught in the morning, raining continuously. Much better afternoon between 2 and 6pm with 10 fish caught to 12 inches. All New Zealand style in the top half of the beat. First time on this beat and very impressed.
