10lb fish slightly coloured caught in Dog Hole on a back and red tube fly. A few canoes but also three wet suited swimmers towing floating bouys!

The river at a good height and a few fish showing especially in the Vanstone, the upper Wires and the Dog Hole. Apart from one good chase at the lower Vanstone we didn't get much response.
Access is improved since my last visit and it is a lovely beat to fish, with the wading being particularly easy on gravel.
I lost my net above the wires seeing it drift off just tantalizingly faster than I could wade to catch it. My second sacrifice to the river Gods this year.

No salmon caught. Plenty of coloured fish showing though in Vanstone, Corner Tree and Dog hole pools.
Access to the pools was very good. So thanks due to Mick the ghillie for efforts in keeping paths and steps jungle free.

River still very murky and levels too high to allow wading with limited areas for fishing a fly from bank possible.

0 salmon caught. a few fish moved early in morning.

1 x 26 inch cock grilse from the V on a size 10 Bann Shrimp. Early fishing before the canoes on a nice cloudy morning with the water low and clear.
