River clarity now down to 12/18 inches that now makes more or less impossible for anything to see your flies, this was a great pity as we saw sparkling clean silver fish from the off and through out the day. No touches all day and not much chance due to the water clarity. When are the authorities going to do something to save our river, June used to be a fantastic month to fish !!

Fished hard for 8 hours, only one fish seen in the tail of the Vanstone pool. River at a good height but only 3/4 foot visibility one chub caught.

Fish seen but none in a taking mood sadly

Gorgeous sunny day, but water still high and coloured. A couple of fish seen moving, although they might have been Twaite Shad - not that I caught any of those either! I did catch a nice sea trout though, which was scant consolation for the lack of salmon.

A very wet and windy day , first time fishing this beat , so nice pools and runs . Let’s hope the water levels rise a bit to push a few fish up . Enjoyable day out though .

Fantastic day to be out, with the river in fine fettle although could have done without the cold north wind. Saw nothing in the morning but hooked a strong fish in Maddox after lunch, sadly though it came off before we could land it. Saw other fish jump in Vanstone, Dog hole and The V.

river very low and clear. bright sunshine. lovely day to be on the river but alas no fish. one very silver fish was showing itself in vanstone but couldn't tempt him.
