Blank. This beat has been fished fairly hard in recent days and weeks and has produced some salmon. I fly-fished it as assiduously as possible, but no joy this time, although a large trout from Island Stream was some consolation. For once it was a day of good conditions (for fishing), cloudy with some drizzle, although the cold wind came back in the afternoon. Fish showed in most of the pools. And, believe it or not, not one single canoe came through.

No salmon seen. The 'other' fish was a salmon smolt.

Very nice day out but nothing caught, fished fly all day, good day for fly overcast and warm until the evening . Saw two nice fish in the Vanstone, one very large. water very clear and getting low, could do with a little rain. will be back later in the year when i can find some time

Lovely beat with some nice fly water. Some slow water in some pools that really needs fly to be stripped through. Wading was fairly easy for most accessible pools although got deep in areas which meant you had to back up to get out. Although there was accessible paths / steps down to water I don't think there was enough of these as large sections of river were inaccessible. Would have been nice to have pool name marker posts to help anglers know where they are fishing. Didn't see or touch a salmon all day but this didn't spoil the experience. Sun was blazing down and made for lovely day outdoors. A large amount of canoes on the water which disrupted things a little but they were courteous and moved through quickly.
I did loose a royal blue morrell foam fly box with double and aluminium tubes in. Lost around the Maddox pool. If anyone finds this I'd be very grateful if they could contact the foundation and arrange its return. Postage and small reward will be paid. Back on Goodrich next month hoping for change of luck and weather.

A very nice beat with lots of excellent streamy fly water. The ghillie- Mick Sutton was extremely helpful and pointed out the best lies and places to fish. We didn't see any fish but had a very pleasant day and hope more fish are around next time we fish .

Nothing caught, very little seen.

River perfect. Spinning. One salmon 14lbs from vanstone.
