Feedback & Reports

nil return, water falling and gradually starting to clear throughout the day. Several fish showing at both Mill stream and Rectory pool late afternoon but not interested in my fly fishing effort so tried a s/h fc for the last run through but to no avail.

Didn’t fish turned up and the river was up and very very coloured so walked the beat as we’d not fished it before and headed home later in the afternoon

Perfect morning started fishing at 08:30hrs river started to rise at 10:30hrs within an hour it was up 3’ and coloured.
Departed 11:30hrs the river was in full spate.

Fished the fly, concentrated on the gravel catch. The river was perfect until 11:00 it the rose a meter in 45 minutes and was unmissable. No Salmon caught.

Chrome bright fish, circa 12lb , Willie Gunn 1.5in copper tube very light dressing, size 8 double hook on super fast sink tip in Mill Stream, Rectory, photographed in net in water at 10.25 am. Safely released without damage.

1 Salmon

Sorry for late return, did phone it in on the day. 41” fresh Salmon estimated on the day at 22lb but an average from three different length scales would suggest more like 25lb, taken on SHFC from top of Gravel Catch near to Copper Beech. Tried fly initially but 40 to 45 yard cast needed to cover properly which on the day with a slight upstream breeze was not possible. Absolutely beautiful fish and my PB. Saw at least a dozen fish in The pool and tail with one beauty jumping over my fly line 15 yards away. River around 2 foot with descent clarity.

No salmon , 1 enthusiastic trout with ambition above his station and stature.Fished fly on sink tip all day. One salmon spotted midstream and downstream of the first oak below the island early evening.
