1 grilse safely returned in the morning for Greg Tustin. Water condition and height good on what was more like summer day around 20 degrees in October!
As always expertly guided by Nathan whose patience in an exceptionally frustrating season due to the weather/water conditions should be acknowledged

Upper Bigsweir is a glorious beat and a very pretty stretch of the river. I would agree with your beat notes that the top part of the beat is excellent fly water and that the lower part is probably better suited to spinning. Wading was easy/straightforward.
Although I caught no fish (although something - a trout probably- tugged at my small dark salmon fly) I saw three salmon move: one on the far side in the middle of Ash Tree, one in mid-stream opposite the sign 'Ash Tree/Triangles' and one in the distance further downstream probably in Crescent. There were also a few trout moving.
The weather was warm and cloudy with a little sunshine in the afternoon and a few drops of rain.
A most enjoyable day's fishing despite the lack of fish and I shall definitely be back next season (when spinning is still permitted!). Thank you.
