Success at last..biggest at 10lb 10..rest all over 6lb...fastest, deepest water I could find, 3bits of corn on a hair rig. Lost two hours fishing cos of idiots in canoes....about time W&UF had a word with the boat companies about river etiquette....otherwise..given the current mood we could have a riot on our hands...

fished beat 2 - with low water levels theres a good couple of hundred yards of exposed gravel and an easy chuck to the fast water under the trees. Great day with plenty of decent chub - won't be far off a 50lb bag - but still no barbel. Loads of snags to contend with so bring lots of feeders..or bring a snorkel and go find all of mine!

We parked at the pump house building and went across the field down stream. We were fishing with Spam, sausage and bread but couldn't tempt anything. However, I saw my first wild Salmon rise around 08.00 in the second usable swim. I was privileged to see the full body breech of a deep and long fish and the tail was amazing. I would estimate this fish to be over 10lbs, what a sight and my first wild sighting. There were plenty of rising fish, which could ave been sizeable browns or even grayling taking flies off the top. Hopefully we'll visit again next year and this time I'll bring my fly tackle as well. Many thanks to local gentleman who steered us in the right direction and to Terry for his texts. Steve

Beat 4 in evening. Alternated between pellet and meat. No sign of barbel. Constant chub attention to meat resulted in one small fish. Kingfisher did much better than me!
Several salmon splashing about.

Tricky days fishing as it was very hot and bright, the river was at a good level but the fish weren't playing.
I caught 1 chub of about 5lb touch ledgering on some luncheon meat.
