A springer of 37 inches nose to tail-fork (not much of a fork), 22lbs weighed in the net, just before lunch. Ran down to cover a fish that porpoised and took and black and gold FC 3rd cast. 2nd ever salmon, need a sit down.

Chilly day and I fished from 12 to 3 . Sadly saw no hatching flies or rising fish and drew a blank. However this is a beautiful and eminently fishable stretch to which I will happily return.

Cold morning (2C) and an early start on the bright day - fished the Rock Pool and The Chime from left bank but saw no sign of Salmon, tried small and large flies on shooting head / sink tip, easy able to cover the water with a 15' rod.

Moved down below the bridge for the afternoon to the trout pools , and landed a small Sea Trout (<1lb) and a beauty of a brown trout at 2lbs+. River about a foot above summer height - wading ok but care required especially below bridge towards e overhead cables where there are a couple of holes; nice beat though, will come again.

34inch fish, est. 17lb first ever salmon for Marcin Mankowski to spinner, he also lost another fish later in the afternoon. Some fish moving, great day out for our company, we met a season rod who showed us the hut and told a bit of a history of this beat, many thanks to that man. Thank you.

A marked drop in temperature coupled with a north wind did not augur well for the fishing and it was tough going. I am recording one brown trout on a beadhead PTN but strictly speaking it didn't quite make it to hand.

1 Trout

2 small trout caught up stream of the bridge itself both less than 1/2 pound. Not much else moving, no fish rising at all.

Fly fishing with AFS shooting head and fast sink tip. Copper tube. Did not see any fish all day. Weather a mix of sunny spells, cloud and the odd short shower. Cold downstream wind all day.

Another blank day.
