Challenging day with high wind and rain, some colour in the water. I caught three wbt, approx 6-8 inches in lovely condition, two on gold head ptn and one on a parachute Adams. Beat is quite overgrown with an influx of Himalayan Balsam in places which could be a problem if left unchecked.

Lovely stream with easy access. A cool misty morning with nothing rising so I fished nymphs. I caught two wbt approx 8 inches long on ptn and lost two others. Donated a few flys to the trees but all in all a good few hours fishing!

One trout approx 7" on dry - parachute adams, should have had a few more as plenty were rising.

Three 6" trout caught on dries. I should have landed more as there were numerous fish rising. River level good with plenty of slower deeper runs.

12 x trout 6-8 inches, plus many more smaller parr, on a small Rusty Klinkhammer. A small amount of rain during the night was enough to put a certain amount of colour into the water, although this cleared as the morning went on. A few rises seen, but plenty of trout, mostly smaller fish in the runs at the heads of pools, were generally prepared to be enticed up, so I didn't use the nymph. A very pleasant way to kill a few hours. It's worth noting that this stream, which is barely above sea level, is reliably an early starter although, as it's a Severn tributary, it doesn't actually open until 18th March.

Couple of hours fishing and 3 trout the result, including my first wbt on a dry fly. Really like this beat although it is a little spoilt by the copious amounts of rubbish throughout....you could almost think you were fishing an urban beat.

Lovely day fishing. Two very small brown trout taken on gold-head PTN. Saw plenty of fish, none rising though and couldn't be enticed to take anything. The two I caught were from the same fast-flowing riffle and were taken in quick succession.

Really enjoyed this beat.
1 wbt of around 7" but missed a couple more bites. Saw plenty of fish, nothing bigger than the one I caught but loads of fish rising.
Only trouble was the rising fish had perfected the art of disappearing as soon as my clumsy feet entered the water!

Fished for two hours. All took CDC emerger.

Not a bad day, only 2 small brown trout, one on a Czech nymph and one on a bead head pheasant tail, more seen but soon spooked by my clumsy footwork, over sized rod and lots of dogs throughout the day.
The brook is very littered with debris after recent flooding.
