Fished the first pool near parking and had 1 fish each then gave up as the access was terrible, needs alot of work to but has potential to be a great fishery.

A good day by the river! No fish caught but I was pleased to see a salmon jump in Biblins crib - some lovely fly water but needed to access the river with care as banks slippery with recent rain.

Good morning, but as the river dropped it went quiet from about 3pm. The “other” was an eel.

Fished 1pm to 9pm. Lovely beat with lots of varied water and conditions. River looking very good - level and clarity. Middle of the session was ruined a bit by someone doing some work up river and loads of flotsam floating downstream. Wiped me out for a couple of hours sadly.
All fish were caught ledgering with pellet or meat.
hope to return...

A quick evening fish on a beat new to me. Stuff downstream wind did not help and rapidly falling temperature limited the evening rise. Two fish netted, largest a good 16 inches. Both fell to simple CDC emerger with no body, just with thorax and upright wing. It has accounted for every fish risen or caught on my last three outings.

This is a stunning fishing beat and reasonably accessible. The river was low and gin clear with plenty of deep pools and riffles to fish. During the day, there were very few fish seen rising despite several hatches. I initially used a dry dropper size 14 Klinkhamer and a similar size hare ear nymph and then varied my fishing from just dry and just nymph througout the beat. I caught small 3 WBT on nymph and had several takes.

Not much activity, gusty wind. A dace each saved the blank.
