Feedback & Reports

Pleasant enough day but a downstream breeze made casting challenging throughout the day. Sporadic hatches and rises, brief in nature. Caught one small fish early in the day followed soon after by a better fish of around a 1lb. Both on a Jingler. Had a break in the afternoon and returned for the evening rise, which didn’t materialise, although I did rise and miss a couple of fish.

Trout caught on a dry fly size 16. I used light-beige colored flies. River was slightly tinged with runoff. Plenty of trout starting to rise once the bug hatches begin around 7-8pm. Beautiful location with easy access and camping nearby. Bummed the pub was under renovation but hopefully I’ll be back in the future to experience it at a later time! Big thanks to the property owner for making this type of experience possible for a guy like me coming from America to the UK for the first time. Absolutely loved it!

A beautiful spot to fish. Mainly sunny weather with the river at normal summer level. One of the chub had a significant kink in its body and we caught this fish in the morning and again in the afternoon. All chub were between 2 and 4 lbs and sadly, all had goosander scars on their flanks. We counted 9 goosanders skulking along the far bank. Halibut pellet was the successful bait and all fish were returned unharmed.

Surprised by how coloured the river was. The owner has done a good job on the track. Other was an eel

River low and clear. Both12” fish caught to PTN and Holy Grail late morning. Very little action otherwise.
