My first ever salmon fishing experience. Some algae bloom but water fishable. Extremely sunny and hot day so fished early morning on the fly up to 1130 with excellent guidance and instruction from the resident ghillie, Mick. Not much evidence of salmon except for one rather acrobatic specimen. Canoeists began passing from about 10am.

Now I know why all 4 rods were available at short notice!! It was a fine weekend and the stream of canoes were virtually continuous, making fly fishing after 11 am impossible. Even without the canoes I would think that 4 rods is 2 too many!
Packed up at 12 midday. Mick the Ghillie whose services I hired was delightful and help save the day from a totally wasted experience.

Only two of us on the beat today some colour in the low water and luxuriant weed growth. No interest in our flies and 2, perhaps 3 fish seen.

Water very coloured

River low and water clarity very poor.

Heavy algae. No sign of any fish
