Water coloured down to 25cm if visibility. Tried fly and a bit of spinning. No interest.

River slightly coloured on arrival. Saw a few resident salmon move, but very few fish around. River rose (about 4”) and coloured up pm. Caught 3 Shad.

Lovely salmon of 36", fat as well, returned in good condition. Taken on fly, along with 2 shad. 8lb pike on flying C.

1 Salmon, 1 Pike, 2 Other

Water very coloured, and only an extreme optimist would fish it expecting to catch a salmon. Being such a person, I fished it anyway. Salmon must be short sighted, as I caught no less than 10 shad. 3 salmon seen, but the rest must have been hiding. Sad to see this lovely river run chocolate brown due to farm runoff. Soil health obviously not a priority in this catchment area. Thank you Mick for you wise advice, always heeded!

Nil, bit brown - saw one or two fish but nothing significant. Quite a few canoeists but all polite and friendly!

Lost count of nips and pulls from shad, fortunately most being self releasing. Water clarity ok but blanket weed is lifting to some degree and causing much fly cleaning. Couple of sightings of coloured salmon. No interest.

Two anglers, with Mick's helpful guiding.. Water high but reasonably clear with some weed, but still fishable with a sink tip. Three shad caught on the fly, but no salmon seen.

dificult fishing conditions due to the downpour overnight bringing down lots of weed in the water

Mick pointed out a couple of showing fish but they would not take. Couple of Shad took my salmon fly. Later flash flood coloured the water so an early bath.
