Today for me, was the last opportunity to fish for trout before the end of the trout season
on the 7th October- and after all that rain yesterday I didn't think it would be very good.
I had already booked beats 14 15 & 16 as I had planned to fish with a fellow committee member
David. But last night the river keeper rang to say the river was very coloured and high and he suggested moving further up the river so I changed to beats 19 20 & 21 as the higher beats can
be clear when the lower beats are coloured. We parked up at the farm got tackled up and we
couldn't believe our eyes ! The water was clear and fish were rising, David headed off downstream and I started from the pool just infront and very quickly had 3 Brownies to a
size 16 LDO dry I waded up beat 19 I hadn't fished this beat before and finished up with
a further 6 Brownies still on the LDO. We only fished for a couple of hours but as we were
working our way back to the cars the local farmer with sons were trying to round up a rather
big Bull that had crossed the river and was in the wrong field. Fortunately the Bull managed
to cross back over the river and up the bank to the right field. The farmer was very relieved.
