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.

Water level very low. No salmon seen

The huge clouds of dust rising under our wheels as we approached the riverside parking looked more like Arizona than Gloucestershire, however the river looked spectacular; clear and sparkling. We had an early take in Stones, on a yellow/black goldhead and the fish wrapped me around a rock and slipped away. My fishing partner had a salmon swim past him only a few feet away. Other than that we contacted, nor saw, no other fish having covered the entire beat. Mick, the resident Ghillie, clarified the mystery of the Cottage Pool - there isn't one! There was years ago but the approach is long gone and reclaimed by the willows. So don't, as I did, try wading upstream to the cottage because it becomes very precarious and there is no reward at the end of it. Tight lines.
