No Salmon seen or caught but had 2 trout and a shad on the fly. Also after prior arrangement called up to Gromain for a couple of hours before going home nothing seen or caught but river was up a bit from the morning.

Fly fished the Rectory beat today for the first time. A bit too much bright sunshine! Did not see a single fish movement on the water all day!

Rough conditions, all 6 trout fell to a Cascade.

Fished all the beat that would take a fly before turning to the spinning rod, for where it was running out of water a bit. A few fish showing in different parts of the beat but one silver fish showing repeatedly in the middle of rock took my eye. It had been fished past a few times during the day without success, so I decided to wait for the sun to move. Woke up on the bank when it went cold with cloud cover, three casts and it was on, a 16 pound bar of silver. Shame it was not on the fly, but a home made barbless single hook flying C, easy to remove, it's the way to go.

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.

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

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.

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.
