Sunny spells with occasional light rain and wind. Very little surface activity, although a pearly parachute elicited a couple of acrobatic rises. Most fish taken on black copper john, only two on the dry. Trout were 6 to 9 inches, grayling 8 to 12. A thoroughly lovely day.

I didn't arrive until after lunch. Strong downstream breeze, so down and across used pretty much all day. Huge numbers of small 6" suicidal trout which became a nuisance after a while, but very encouraging for the future! Changing up to size 10's seemed to put most, but not all of them off. Most fish caught in faster water on heavy nymphs including 7 grayling all 1 to 1.5lb. Nice big chub caught under the bridge around 5lb, a good fight in the flow and put a good bend in my 5wt rod. As evening approached the wind did die down and there were a few small fish rising but nothing really interested in the dry. Great day!

Excellent day in stunning surroundings. Water low and very clear Saw four salmon but could not tempt any of them.

No salmon seen or caught my friend had 9 trout on the spinner I had one trout on the fly, all trout were in nice condition and all returned.

No Salmon Caught or Seen but the river had a slight rise during the day

We had brillant weather warm, sunny intervals. A great time was had by all. The three rods did not catch a trout of over one pound. Never the less were kept busy with fish of 5-8 inches. The wining combination was a weighted black GRHE sz14 on the point with a small spider pattern on a dropper 3 foot higher. I had 2 successive casts were I caught fish on both hooks. A smaller fish took the dropper then a larger trout came to investigate and took the hook lower down.
We camped at Trericket Mill near the beat.

Fished the evening rise only. One trout of half pound. In good condition. Caught as the light was fading, on the surface when I switched to a small spent spinner. I felt that the profile of the fly was useful as there was a lot of foam and I suspected that the small CDCs/Klinks would not stand out.
