A really nice beat, plenty of fishing although I think it will become increasingly tricky in the coming months as the undergrowth and trees fill out.
Forecast was for dull, mild weather but instead was a mix of light through to heavy rain, gusty and a tad chilly.
Much higher than expected and frustratingly very coloured water - a strange pallor to the water, more grey than brown. It looked as if the water had been very high recently and it was still coming through at a fast pace, compared with my last visit back in March.
No hatch seen and not much luck, despite trying both nymphs and a team of wets. Did get 3 bites around 1230, all in the same spot, felt like a small fish or perhaps a grayling as in a spot where I had caught grayling on a previous visit, just under the footbridge (not sure if there are plans to repair the bridge, as it would certainly make access that bank much easier).
Shame to have a blank but will definitely be back for the challenge as really interesting beat.

Fishing Passport Note : Work to improve access to the river will be taking place on 26th June 2023

A fine-looking beat, but rather quiet - a trickle of olives, fish not taking the nymph it seems. Too cool? Too early? Too late? Too high? Too low?

Fished very early morning, a challenging beat. Plenty of fly life on the river, but no rises, no sign of any fish all morning, used wet/dry fly, nymph, no bites. Still enjoyed, nice to see a family of otters at the lower end of the beat, maybe that’s why all the fish have gone.
