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.

one shad on the fly, river rising and dirty after heavy rain, but still an enjoyable day

Lots of Salmon showing, but the water had a dirty colour that put them off. Mick the Ghillie was a great help and put me on fish, but they just were not interested. A mid morning raft race with about 20 rafts. That made more noise than 1000 speed boats, did not help the salmon fishing. They just rowed straight down the middle of the river at pace nearly mowing me down. Stupid, ignorant and dangerous.

Water very coloured. Plenty of salmon crashing out but very tricky conditions. Caught a large chub on a large tube fly!!

River very coloured and it did seem to be more than just muddy, possibly some algae in the water.
