Gillie Glynn was very helpful to this first-time salmon angler. Lots of tips on tackle, technique and watercraft. There is a little more to spinning a flying c than I expected. The beat is well looked after, convenient parking by the hut and toilet and there's good access to the bank.
Overcast in the morning (good) bright after lunch (not so good). Level just under 2 feet. 3 rods were on the water fishing either flies or lures.
Apart from two splashes in the pylon pool, salmon did not make an appearance.

21.5lb very fresh fish. Glynn’s first ever landed fish on the fly! Returned very strongly.

Lovely well maintained beat by Glynn the ghillie. Lovely colour and height for the fly just above the mucky Lugg probably limiting things downstream today, seemed a good bet for one stopping off in the clearer water of the lovely Poachers pool! Fish seen early on and possibly one last thing but nothing took hold today. Oxford run fishing beautifully and the lie just off the little croy 70m down has had 3 so far - contrates the mind when nearing that and there's a ghillie to tell you this! Great spot all really well looked after so you can get at it. Ghillie, hut, (tea!) couple of cracking lies to fly fish easily for a good chance at a fish of a lifetime on fly. £25 plus booking fee, £10 tip, got to be good value compared with other beats which are not similarly "policed" or maintained. 1 respectful canoe kindly passing near side as requested.
Great days fishing and thank you all.

River at good height and very clear, no fish but very much enjoyed.

No luck in a couple of hours I spent fishing, good to see other rod catching.
