Very nice beat with a good mixture of fly and spinnng. Unfortunately we didn't catch a thing. Arrived at 9.30 am just after high tide, so a little late and stayed until 7 pm. The only hint of a fish was a nibble on my spinner from a very small brown trout.
As to why we didn't see a fish? Maybe because we had no real rain in the prior 2 weeks. Maybe because we had a hard late winter, who knows?

A very pleasant days fishing in beautiful surroundings. I slowly progressed through every salmon pool starting at the Cockpit and finally caught a fish at the very top of the Cordora Pool with a pink flying condom - I initially got very excited, but subsequently found out that I had hooked a 12 pound Pike (tailed by two of it's "relatives" for some reason) - caught and released.
As a suggestion for the future it would be nice to be able to access the beat using a none 4 X 4 vehicle (possible if the access road ruts were filled with crushed hardcore, or similar).
