Fishing for salmon today, held no hope of catching a fish. The river was the colour of coffee due to excessive algal bloom, and there were incessant interruptions to fishing due to the passing of canoeists.
Surely, the numbers of canoes should be limited by the licensing of the canoe hire companies The licence fees to go towards the improvement and protection of the river's habitat. I think that I am right in my understanding that the canoe rental companies contribute nothing to the upkeep of the river habitat, yet they must be making significant profit from it.
The quality of the river water in Summer has to be reduced by the current levels of extraction of river water for agriculture which were set in the time before climate change.
I will be back again, in hope and preferably after a good week of heavy rain has flushed through the river .

Early start, mist soon burnt off to reveal a blue, cloudless sky. Temperature and brightness increased through to midday when it became too uncomfortable for me to fish on. A few fish showing lazily in the bottom of Vanstone early on, no sightings in upper pools. Algae starting to become nuisance. Nil return today but some interest, believed to have come from shad.

What a day! Mick the guide for the beat took me straight to the fish and following his instruction on tip, leader and fly. I landed a 12lbs cock fish slightly coloured, what a fight. All day I kept getting shad on salmon flies. To cap a great day I had a fresh sea lice salmon about 8lb on spinner. I asked Mick to have a fish and he landed a lovely salmon on fly about 9lb. Mick is a star and knows the beat like the back of his hand. Thanks Mick I will be back.
2 Salmon, 5 Other
