After a night of heavy rain, the river was high and tinged but still worth a few casts. Sinking line and a tungsten beaded salmon nymph didn't get snagged until it sank in the slacker water, so it was hard work. No fish seen but one decent brownie took the fly and at least put a bend in the rod. My plan was to fish Lady Alexanders Catch and down the end of the beat and then move to Goodrich Court for the afternoon. When I crossed the river at Ross the water looked like Brown Windsor soup and that was the end of the day's fishing. Yet another season ends without a salmon touched.

Swim looked great, amazing to see how nicely they have put the small rope fence done to the swim, very handy, sadly with all this cold water not a tap all day, still lovely place all the same

Conditions looked perfect river at a nice height with good colour started at 07-45 and had two barbel 2lb-4oz and 7lb-8oz in the first hour then nothing more in that swim.Moved swim and had another small barbel at 2lb and a 5lb 10 oz chub left at 5-30,groundbait feeder with pellet and meat on the hook accounted for all fish.

Water in perfect condition - falling and clearing - but sadly, no salmon caught, seen or heard. Did see goosander, cormorant and an otter though.

Tuesday afternoon. 14lb cock fish from the Cafn neck closely followed by a 12lb hen from the Cafn stream. Both on a Frodin Willie Gun tube and a 15ft sink-6 tip.

2 Salmon

Very hard day although the conditions were perfect , no one had told the fish. One lost fish at around 5:30 followed by a landed barbel if about 6lb at around 6:30 so maybe whatever was causing them to not feed is starting to end?

1 Barbel

Some eels and a barbel on meat in fast coloured water conditions
