Feedback & Reports

A lovely day. Water height at Ross was 0.24m, so low. Algae bloom ongoing but still fishable, with a good draw on the fly in most pools. Saw 2 salmon splashes in lower Vanstone pool. Friend had a 2 1/2 lb shad and I lost a fish on Stones pool which pretty sure, was also a shad. Unable to locate access points for upper and lower lines, and Gabions pools.

Lots seen along the whole beat. One lost on a Golden Gunn, a few bumps, one follow on the Green Highlander, 9 Shad caught. Greeny colour to the water and very very warm.

Hot bright day! Lovely water, no salmon caught sadly!

1 Chub

Nothing caught or seen , very hot day a lot of weed floating down made conditions difficult

1 Salmon

One salmon lost in the Vanstone Pool. River level low and weed a continuous problem.

Double-handed fly rod. A lot of blanket weed and algae, so viability not good. No fish seen. Despite that, I had a great day; thanks to Mick Sutton, the Ghillie. He has intimate knowledge of the water and is great company. I look forward to returning when water conditions are better and there are salmon coming through.

Mick the Ghillie has done a great job putting in steps and clearing swims. River low and clear few canoeists about. One going upstream did not help. No luck today. Great information from Mick on where and how to fish. Thanks

First time on this lovely beat and very friendly ghillie.
Worked the beat through twice throughout the day with no fish seen. From 6pm until dusk there was quite a bit of movement in Vanstone but could not be tempted on the fly. Will be back after some much needed rain.
