Description:
Trout, sea tout with a chance of a salmon on a summer spate. The bottom section is very close to the tide. The sea trout run can be good and EA electrofishing in this stretch in 2001 produced 40 fish to 5lb in 100m! Sea trout fishing picks up in May with best results fishing a falling river after a spate (especially if coordinated with spring tides). This is a lovely but very small stream and probably best suited to worm and spinner for the larger seatrout but a 7ft 3 or 4wt will do fine for the trout and school peal. Average catch of 7 fish/visit with several peal to 1lb in 2008.

Restrictions:
All legal methods allowed. No more than 1 salmon, 2 trout or 2 sea trout to be retained per day.
