Didn’t fish as flooded

didn't fish

No signs of active fish. Cold wind prevailed in the early morning until just before midday, when the modest cloud cover disappeared to yield a very bright day. Fishing conditions far from ideal.

Conditions remain unchanged over recent days.
That is to say, water on the low side but clear, with a piercing, blustery cold wind which inhibits casting.
Suspect water too cold to animate the salmon.
If they are running they are not showing.

Lovely beat but no salmon caught.

Water looked to be in good order but no fish showing. Strong and cold wind made casting difficult.

Did not fish as flooded

According to Nathan, the very helpful ghillie who met us with a lovely cup of tea at the hut, the river was in perfect nick. Bang on height, decent clarity, a tad cold to be fair but an overcast day, so no bothersome sunlight ... the trouble is that the place was devoid of fish! Absolutely as dead as a doornail, which was a shame there is some lovely water, particularly for the fly along 'Little Run' pool and 'Cockpit'. There is also one other thing visiting anglers should note. Although 'Cadora' is listed as one of the best spots on the beat, apparently if the members fishing the other bank are on Cadora, then you are not allowed to fish it! It causes trouble we were told. However, this ought to be pointed out in the blurb as technically it could be construed as mis-description of the beat.

Water in good condition and level also good.
No sign of any fish!
