A good days fishing,water still a bit coloured with about 2ft visibility. No salmon but 8 Shad on spinner and fly. Fish showing in the Vanstone and Dog hole kept us working hard all day. Will be back soon.

Excellent days fishing with great help and advice from Mick. A number of fish showing, particularly at the Vanstone. Middle of the day (1030/1330) proved to be a steady interruption of canoes and kayaks which proved difficult to fish through. Afternoon quieter, but no fish had the decency to sample my fly on this occasion !
I will return

Thank you to Mick for an enjoyable day. 7 inches on Fownhope gauge with moderate tint of colour in the river still. 4th cast of the day with a small yellow and black tube into the Vanstone Pool hooked a decent fish. I was a bit over eager for my 15 year old son to land his first salmon which may have happened but for my antiquated reel. Next time I will play the fish out a bit more and have purchased a new reel! 1 shad caught in the evening.

A perfect fishing day. Water a little coloured is my only excuse. Didn't see a fish all day, but the beat has benefitted greatly from Micks influence with all pools obvious and a delight to fish. Had every confidence of a Salmon, but alas only shad could see the fly!

Fownhope at 11". Water dropping back after a short dirty rise. Fished in the evening as the visibility was just starting to come back. Nothing seen or touched.

Water was very dirty with wash off from the fields. Mick the ghillie put me on lots of fish but none were interested. Over the day I must seen 10 different salmon. Great beat, great advice from Mick I will return soon.
