Saw plenty of fish but didn't manage to connect with any

River was high and coloured, so only 2 pools suitable for wading. Several fish seen in The Vanston, one hooked but lost, one 4lb Grilse caught on single hook Willie Gunn. Large group of very noisy canoeists didn't help! Mick's guidance and excellent management of this beat, really appreciated.

Great day with Mick the local Gilly but sadly the only thing that got hooked was myself when Mick caught me on the left cheek when demonstrating his role cast (Ouch!). The midday break at the local pub called the Hostelry was very relaxing. There were several Salmon seen jumping but with the water having colour none taken. Although no fish caught my brother and I enjoyed the day and was kept entertained by Micks good humour.

Fished the beat this morning til 9am seen several fish showing 2 showed In the Maddox. Quite a few showing in the Vanstone & couple showed in the lines. Had small pike from the Vanstone. No luck with the salmon. Popped back this evening went down through the Maddox caught 16lb salmon on flying C only fished for 20 mins then packed up. Lovely beat well maintained easy access to pools. Enjoyable fishing.

1 Salmon, 1 Pike

No fish caught, some salmon showing at the bottom end of the beat. Excellent work done on clearing the banks for access by Mick the gillie.

Very high level. Locals would probably not have fished. As I had travelled a distance of if fish but no fish. Nice beat

The river was a delicate shade of chocolate brown and no fish were caught, we did, however see kingfishers and one salmon.
My guest had travelled many miles so, as the weather was fine, and we took the opportunity to enjoy the scene and watch the world, the swans and the canoes go by.

Water with a little color and rising few salmon seen but not clear enough for fly, only spinning

Nil return but had a good day out and great to see so many sand martins.
