There is a sign at what appears to be an old car park warning you not to proceed by vehicle - so I left my car there - only to find the actual car park is further round - no other signs so very confusing. The end of beat yellow topped post remained a mystery - couldn't find it. There appear to be old signs around - not particularly helpful. Overall, could be a lot better marked/signposted.

Few fishing showing Mick showed me so new runs that held fish but none took.

River at 0.2m on EA Ross gauge after long steady drop and water at 56°F. River was the lowest I’ve seen at this time of year – 2ft below stone walkway along the Maddox / Vanstone. First rain showers for a couple of weeks overnight dirtied the water slightly and gave a 2” lift during the day. Fished floating line, ½” black silver tubes and #8 shrimps. Several 10-15lb size fish jumped / rolled in the neck and further down Vanstone Pool repeatedly throughout the day – but I could not tempt them.

Although the river is low much of the water still looked very attractive and we fished it all pretty thoroughly with the fly. Didn't try spinning. Sadly no fish, nor any sign of one. Hoping for rain soon to liven things up before my next visit in early June.

Two fish seen, very bright. Nil return.

Lovely spring day but the water a bit low. My friend had a strong pull in the Vanstone and I had to settle for a good chub to a Willie Gun at the bottom of the Maddox pool.

I entered a catch return the same day - don't know why it hasn't registered. One good pull in the Vanstone - where a few salmon were showing and a Chub from the bottom of Maddox on a Willie Gun.
