Feedback & Reports

Only fished couple of hours this morning before breakfast Several salmon showing in the vanstone pool. Missed a nice fresh salmon in the stones. Canoes we’re on very early 1st lot down we’re at 6.10am
An enjoyable couple of hours fishing.

Colour not too bad in the morning but deteriorated through the day once the sun came out and the algae bloomed! River bottom filthy. Residents in Vanstone and Dog Hole.

The river was very low (0.18m on the Ross gauge) but, despite the warm water, the river was running fairly clear and with no sign of the pea green algae. There were salmon showing in The Vanstone and The Stones, mostly resident but some were running. We didn’t connect with any salmon but the chub were obliging, including one at 25” and presumably 4lb+.

River was coloured but saw some salmon breaching the water but couldn’t buy a fish to take a fly.

A lovely day spent by the river but conditions not ideal, with hot sun all day. Saw a number of salmon in Vanstone but none showed any interest in our flies.

Saw several

Low water and very cloudy (algae) with some coloured fish in the river but not interested.

Saw a number of fish moving but we caught nothing
