Water height fine, but no salmon seen on this occasion. This is a lovely stretch of river, I'm surprised it isn't fished more. Surely with more fishing effort it would produce salmon catches?

The river appeared to be high and fast. I did not have any luck using a variety of dry flies or nymphs.

Fished for an hour with the children between 8 and 9pm, shared one rod between 3 of us. Caught and returned 2 good brown trout (1lb and 1.5lb). Used upstream nymphing through broken water with Black Pennel on dropper and gold bead GRHE, both fish took dropper.
River was dropping and clear. Lots of rising fish. Will definitely return when I have a bit more time.

Fished small salmon fly down the length twice in morning, then once more late evening. Small trout only seen, one hooked and returned. Water clear enough to see most of bottom and no salmon or fish above 8oz seen. Access is not possible to upstream of island because of dense undergrowth. 'Walkway' is badly in need of repair and is dangerous. A wading stick is essential.

No fish caught or seen but nice to get out for a few hours.

River virtually unfishable after heavy rain. Highly coloured with strong downstream winds. Two trout caught at end of afternoon as river fined down a little.

Beautiful stretch of river. No salmon but three excellent brown trout. Marking promising pools on the beat map would help anglers.

3 fish taken, each approx. 3/4 lb. 4 returned, ranging from 3.5 inch to 7.5 inch.
