5th April 2012

24 hrs and a new day ! Clear skies and the strong gusting north easterly wind has dropped and a fine day is due , river level remains normal . We may see a shift due to snow melt from the hills but I don`t envisage any significant movement .

04th April 2012

Wednesday morning and as you can see snow has fallen overnight settling on the high ground accompanied by a very strong north easterly wind sending temperatures plummeting .

03rd April 2012

Tuesday has started dull and overcast currently light rain and the risk of snow later ! Yesterday proved testing with fish still slow to feed and those that do are often short lived responding to a brief sporadic hatch .

02nd April 2012

Monday morning river level remains unchanged , very overcast with temperatures set to fall and snow forecast for Tuesday !

30th March 2012

Friday morning level remains low unsurprisingly given the recent dry spell , this morning has started cold and overcast but the sun is forecast for later . Anglers on the river yesterday landed fish predominately to dry fly both fished blind or to the odd visible rise . Fish are still slow to feed given the scarcity of available food , and a careful approach given that these are overwintered fish and mobility to cover feeding lies will help bring a reward these early season fish provide .
The river opens Sunday 01st April to day tickets price remains at £30 for the day .

28th March 2012

Wednesday morning and a sunny day once more , level remains the same . Yesterday fished slowly for the couple of anglers I talked to at lunchtime , I saw no surface rises at all compared to the previous day , however I saw little fly activity except for terrestials .

27th March 2012

Another sunny day today with temperatures set to rise following a cold start , river remains clear . Good hatch of Brook duns at Beamsley which rose a few fish .
