Feedback & Reports

My first time at this little Brook and not a very successful one. I was starting to question whether there were any fish here at all, then spotted a shape darting into one of the deeper pools. Plenty of insect life including several mayflies hatching, but I couldn't elicit a response to any of my atificials. A pleasant place to fish, in a lovely forest setting, just not much to cast at.

Nothing seen or caught. As others have mentioned this is a very shallow stream. Picturesque though.

Spent a couple of hours with nymph and klinkhammer this afternoon. The water was cloudy and no fish were seen either rising or in the water (or on the end of the line!). Quite difficult conditions, would merit a group of us volunteering to walk the beat and clear some of the winter rubbish, logs and branches.

A first visit to this beat for my son and myself - really enjoyed ourselves but could see that summer water levels would make life pretty challenging. One trout only which took a Greenwells Glory having tried a selection of nymphs

Fished for about six hours but sadly to no avail. Conditions were not to good very hot answer water very low, Fished with dry fly Griffiths gnat, saw one fish all day. Sadly no fish caught but very nice country side.

I began fishing at around 11 o'clock. The water was very low and I was often fishing in just 6 inches of water. I caught fish in tiny little pockets of water as well as some of the bigger pools; the riffle i caught the first fish in was only about 20cm deep. All of the fish were caught on dry flies and I predominantly used a size 16 stimulator dry fly. if you fish this beat i would recomend using very fine tippet and casting into every tiny little bit of pocket water as well as the pools.

Great fun for a couple of hours - water level up and a tinge of colour. 13xwbt from 3-7" flicking a #20 goldbead nymph into the obvious places. As suspected a great beat after some wet weather!

First time on this lovely, tiny stream. Water surprisingly low - saw a few fish shoot off as I approached pools, but couldn't get close enough. Closest I came was missing a bite on a small jig nymph. Will be back, probably after some rain when theres a bit of colour in the stream

Raining day but anyway water level very low, very clear water, 12 fish, size up to 8inches on gold head nymph. Few fish lost as well. So can say that definitely will return in May or early June try dry fly. Not a pleasant surprise, a dead wild boar near the shore of the stream. Also, virtually all types of boar tracks, it seems that a lot of them in the woods, and you need to be careful. The rest is a very interesting fishing despite the fact that the portion of the creek for fishing very short which can be overcome for 2-3 hours.

Very low water levels with limited number of pools holding fish. 7 fish caught, 6 trout and I think a roach. Probably lost another 7. All caught on a weighted nymph suspended below a balloon caddis.
