Enjoy the beat, didn't see any salmon although the conditions were good, caught I small sea trout around 3/4lb.

The water was at a good height today about 1/14 on the gauge, being wadable but not suicidal! Once again, there was very little sign of life all day. On 3 occasions, I was aware of humidity suddenly rising and instantly there were fish rising, albeit only once.

I concentrated on trout and caught 20, most of which were up to 7 inches, but I caught one good one of 1lb and another of 1 1/2lb which looked a bit thin. This one didn't fight well and seemed to need oxygenating when I returned him. A few of the 7 inch fish however, leapt all over the place when hooked! I also caught a good grayling of 1lb, which was the only fish I caught as a result of stalking.

There was no sign of salmon at all.

20 Trout, 1 Grayling

River conditions were good although river on the low side and early down pour may have not helped. Found fishing hard but managed to bring two small trout from the faster water on a small Black Beetle style fly. Both released. Was fishing on the other bank - to fishing hut , as was uneasy in using main parking area as track to river very slippery so decided to move out in case I couldn't get out as car is not FWD. Fished till 5 o'clock when the sky cleared. An enjoyable day.

Fished with Brian Skinner so please count this as his return. Water was nice fished the top pool on the boards then the gutter, didn't see anything. Fished the bridge pool next Brian caught a coloured hen fish of 9lb, on a black and red flying c. Fished the pool in front of the house both fly and spin but caught or saw nothing. Nice day all in all
