Feedback & Reports

Was only a matter of time! Arrived at 10.30, river tinge of colour, looking great.
Started in the Rock pool, saw 2 fish move around lunch time, tried but they didn't oblige. Fished the Bridge pool, had lunch went back to The Rocks, BINGO, 15lbs of silver on home tied Allys/flamethrower double on slow sink tip. More fish seen after.
TIP; give up any DIY this weekend go fishing for Salmon!

ps. Trout anglers 'Mayfly have started'

So much for the over cast sky! River dropping quickly, started with a hint of colour, clear by the end of the day. It looked very promising early on, until the sun started!
3 trout to about 12inches, 1 shad about 2 1/2lbs which gave me a a bit of hope, if they can make it up the river then salmon must be able.

3 Trout, 1 Other

A great evening's fishing. 2 trout around half a pound and 2 grayling between 3/4lb and a pound.

2 Trout, 2 Grayling

Fabulous day on one of my favorite beats, weather warm and sunny but still managed 2 WBT in the morning to a Greenwells Glory, one about 1lb the other a little heavier. Lost a bigger fish (honest) to the same fly.
Grayling of a nice size, followed by two more WBT after lunch on a March Brown. All fish caught on the flats by the bridge and all returned. Fished 8.30am till 3pm
Many thanks yet again, Great day.

4 Trout, 1 Grayling

River at a very fishable height and perfect colour fished fly all day. Sadly no salmon seen or felt. Good numbers of decent sized trout active all day with good hatches of olives and sedges right through the day. Lovely day to be on the river. Lots of inviting fly water on this beat. Very enjoyable.

Fished high water with spinners. No fish showing.
Caught 3 trout up to 1lb (all on spinner - 1 from the Rocks (returned), 2 from Mill Stream). Hooked into a bigger fish at Mill Stream, lost after playing for a minute, by then I'd lost / broken my heavier spinners, making it difficult to fish the fast water effectively at this height.

3 Trout

No salmon seen or caught. Had one trout about half a pound but water conditions were very good.

1 Trout

Managed 2 hours late in the afternoon. Fished rock pool in a cold, wintery upstream wind. No sign of fish.

A pleasant day but no sign of any salmon.
