Feedback & Reports

Wash-off day declared for Sunday, however I did turn up just in case. Had a good look around.
A note for those to fish following my visit. The rough 'track' from Lady Alexander's pool up to the top of the beat passes along the bottom of a high bank. In last Friday's storm 4 or 5 good sized trees have fallen from this bank toward the river making passage to the top a huge obstacle course and extremely hard going.
This will need some chainsaw work to clear. W&UF notified already.

washed off much to high and the colour of tea

Blanked.

Blank.

Great day approx 12 trout to 13inch and 6 grayling, 1 pushing 2 lbs, 1 about 1 and a half.

River was high but dropping, looked very promising for Salmon. Sadly not to be, strangely didn't see any Salmon in the main Salmon pools although what I think was a small Grilse jumped out a few times in the slack water near the bank and the bottom of the beat. Switched to Trout in the afternoon and had a very enjoyable session on the dry.

Cold, wet, windy from south east deteriorating as day progressed. Commenced fishing at 12 am. No fish rising below rapids but did have three pulls to nymphs and 1 salmon parr. Above rapids plenty of olives (pale wateries/spurwings?) coming off and fish rising all over river, but wind increased and rise ended. Left at 3pm with wind increasingly cold. 1 trout of 8 inches landed.

Perfect weather , the river was perfect, there was a perfect profusion of flies , my casting was perfect , my sandwiches were perfect , ........................Blanked ! Not an hint do a fish all day not a sniff , nothing zilch !

No salmon caught or seen. Many WBT (16 or 17) on dry flies but all small : average 20-25cm.
Nice day out.

Bright sun and low river levels, lovely stretch but nil return.
