Tenkara Day. Conditions cloudy with sunny intervals occasional thunderstorms. River placid. Tenkara fishing. 1 grayling approx 9ins on dogs body. First time fishing here. Very enjoyable. Would be difficult to find if didn't follow someone who knew beat.

Fished a variety of dry flies and nymphs. Plenty of wbt seen, unfortunately none caught. Caught 3 grayling at end of session. Beautiful beat, thoroughly enjoyed the day and will be returning in the future.

One 12" brown trout caught and released. Plenty of activity. Dry fly. River conditions perfect. Beautiful specimen. Will definitely be coming again.

Dry fly. Good water conditions.

The easterly wind made life difficult today being both cold and blustery. We started on klink and dink accounting for a small wbt and an out of season grayling. There was very little fly life hatching and consequently few fish topping. Around 3 pm there was a brief hatch and we took wbt and grayling up to 1lb.
Overall a satisfying day as every fish caught was hard earned. The wildlife was incredible today with bunting and Wagtail's performing acrobatics, catching the flies hatching off the river. Thank you Wendy for your help in booking this beat.

Beautiful beat with a lovely mix of features. Cool and breezy conditions with surprisingly good hatches for most of the day including a healthy number of mayfly, but not many fish rising. Some evidence of otter presence so maybe the ace fishermen beat me to the catch.
Took one of the top with an emerger pattern about half way down the beat and one on a heavy nymph in the pool above the bottom weir, both about 10 inches.

Managed to find a few sheltered areas out of the wind including an expedition into the jungle at the top of the beat. Tight up there for casting but floated a large pheasant tail nymph down a glide to pickup a chubby and hard fighting 10 inch WBT. Picked up 3 others and a grayling on a mixture of nymph and mayfly.

Nice beat in lovely setting, fished from 7 until 2 with a few rises in the morning before all went quiet.

Good fun on a mayfly with several rises and fish hooked and lost. The bottom weir pool, despite it being teeming with flies and mayflies, seemed devoid of fish with nothing rising whatsoever, although on my second approach to it what appeared to be a family of goosanders in the distance where scattering away.
