Nothing caught but it was my first lesson in salmon fishing. A thoroughly enjoyable day under the sound guidance of oliver who is very knowledgeable and extremely patient. River needs a bit more water on this beat but a massively enjoyable day which was a present from my wife.

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.
