Feedback & Reports

River 0.4 and gin clear. Temp 30c at 7pm and still 24c at 10pm. John and I opted for trout fishing spider partridge and orange and small greenwells nymph subsurface in Woodstream and Top Run resulting in 11 for me and 5 for John from par to 12 oz. Good sport! All returned.
Switched to dry wulff size 14 at 9.30pm and had another 4 but some large trout showed in the streamy water below the rock but unable to tempt any of these. Suspect they had moved up from the pool late on. John had one more in tail of Chine pool.

No fish spotted, another disappointing day. Maybe tomorrow will be better.

1 x 15 inch WBT caught on PTN - all very quiet except for a leaping salmon.

1 Trout

Few fish rising, few LDO's other than that, very quiet, one caught and lost in same motion - on grey wolf.

Nothing caught.

Started at two oclock with fly but wind was difficult and by three I'd changed to spinning. Landed 9lb hen fish in Rock pool on copper/red fc. Single hook made for easy release why does anyone still use trebles?

1 Salmon

River low and conditions very bright. Started at 6.30am and packed up 11.30am. Very helpful telephone conversation with owner which helped to locate the best salmon lies but made no contact with any fish and saw no salmon showing.

Lovely time but nothing caught. Missed a few takes.

Another masterclass from J, where he varied tactics from nymphs and wet flies to Klinkhammers and netted 8 to 1.6lb, nothing under 6oz while I persevered unsuccessfully on dry wulff and yellow dun with 2 fish lost on quite a sparse rise throughout evening.
Water .53m and clear so too low and slow for Salmon. One fish of around 10lb which looked fresh showed twice in the deep water at the Chine between 9 and 9.30pm.

1 trout caught on mayfly, about 12ozs. River looked very healthy, good flow. Fishing was hard though, with no other takes, either on dry or nymph.
