Feedback & Reports

River still holding a bit of colour in the morning but still ok for the fly and by the evening it looked almost perfect and had dropped back to about two feet. Two fish seen and very brief contact made with one, half a dozen trout.

Great to be back on the river again. One salmon seen head and tailing in Gravel catch early on. Alas no salmon and no takes. River too coloured for most of the day for fly. But a most enjoyable day none-the-less.

11lbs slightly coloured fish from the very top of the Rock pool with the river running at 2ft 7" and 4ft vis. Saw another in the Bridge pool. Wading line on the bridge pool has shallowed and I got though it with 6" of freeboard. Turning back to get out at the 2nd access after fishing past the stones was a bit of a struggle against the force of water.

1 Parr, no Salmon. River running very low, with wind getting a bit gusty. Still a great place to spend the day.

Grayling - GRHE & Czech nymph - 1 x 8-10inch and 1 x 11-13inch.

Blank I fear, but a pleasant evening on the river.

Caught 5 trout to half pound on a bead head under a dry and to a dark olive Klink pattern, finally the fish seemed to have started to rise to the Dark Olives and Grannom (light but steady hatch of both from 11:00) too after 3 quiet days.
Fished 10:30-15:00, very hot, very bright.

5 Trout, 1 Grayling

17:30h Evening session only. Limited rise to grannom, took a fingerling on a beadhead under a klink just above the bridge
Cold wind suppressed hatch and rise.
