10 Barbel to 6lb 3ozs, 11 Chub to 4lb 5ozs. All caught on Pellets. The fishery is well looked after and a pleasure to fish.

All grayling: many 6/8", 12 @ 8/12", 4 @ 1lb/1.5lb.
Most taken on dry iron blue, with two or three on wet goldhead. Fished from 10am to 5pm, sunny, warm southerly breeze. Water slightly coloured. Dearth of natural fly.

Caught about 10 fish to 12" or so. Klink and dink all day with 2 on the klink the rest from the the #16 PTN hanging below it. First time that I never hooked a fish on the first hole but found plenty in the top third. Loads of smaller fish today which is good to see. Can't wait for them to double in size. I love this little stream.

1 barbel 5lb, 1 chub 3lb 4oz. Saw lots of salmon jumping.

None caught! Waited for the much spoken of evening rise but nothing all day - no movement at all. Maybe the weather had an impact as we had rain and a little thunder in the distance. However, we cetainly expected much more activity than there was. Eventually gave up at 9.30pm.

8 trout, 5 grayling. River very low but we picked up fish all day. 1 on dry (very little moving on the surface) the rest on nymphs.

Another fantastic day on this wonderful beat. The river was in a lovely condition following our earlier wash-off. The trout were freely rising throughout the day and provided great sport. Eighteen brown trout were landed, mainly in the range of 9-12 inches and safely returned. One larger fish of 2lbs was kept. All were caught on dries with a grey wulf being the favourite fly on the day. To cap the day off I also saw my first ever red kite at close quarters! Can't wait for my next visit and many thanks as always.

We got around 25 between us, the best being a stockie of around 2lbs. Fish taken on nymphs and wets in the morning, and then spinner patterns and small CDC emergers in the afternoon. The waters was at a nice height with a bit of colour. This is a lovely beat but there seems to be a lot of "traffic" these days - people walking their dogs throwing sticks into the river for the dogs to chase, and groups of people skimming stones and throwing large stones into good pools. Quite why the general public think that fish will feed when various missiles are being thrown at them is a bit of a mystery. Rant over, we had a lovely day!

Moved a salmon at neck of Upper Mill Pool but couldn't entice it again. Loads of trout about. Very nice water.

Five trout, ranging from about 6 oz to 10 oz. One 9 oz killed (foul hooked), beautiful wild brown, very good eating. Picturesque spot, quite tricky with nettle abundance below the bridge, but nothing to complain about. Very easy system, booked on line at last minute as opportunty arose, good directions and every thing to plan.
