Not being a coarse fisherman I believe what I caught was a chub. I also caught a roach of about 1 pound, both fish were caught on a size 10 stoats tail double.

1 Chub, 1 Other

1 x Chub approx 1.5lb caught on Salmon fly whilst fishing for Salmon, returned.
Hooked and lost 1 x Salmon (assumed) in the Dog Hole pool not seen so can not comment on size, hooked on shrimp variant type fly

1 Chub

Weather good, levels good and we fished the fly hard all day but no takes. Several fish seen but suspect they were residents. Moved a couple out of the Vanstone pool with a spinner but still could not get a take.

Its a long walk to the top of the beat from the parking and when you get there its is very overgrown. We saw a few fish move but they looked stale and no takers.

Water a perfect height at 10" but unfortunately quite dirty with heavy particulates that probably put the fish down.
Access has been improved on this beat with a number of cut paths down to the waters edge.

Nil return.

Teaching my 14yr old daughter to cast, she hooked a fish on a size 16 ally's shrimp which took 15 mins to land on the 9ft 7wt rod. Turned out to be a 4lb chub - not a salmon but a great fight nonetheless!

1 Chub

Nil return but several salmon showing.

Nil return. Saw about 10 shows throughout the day from 5am until 7pm fished about 60% fly and 40% flying C and Minow lures.

Had enjoyable days fishing. Saw 4 salmon show in morning and caught 2 chub on spinner, 1 of 2lb & another of 3lb from The Maddox. The canoes came through very early at 6.40am. Fished to 9am then came back 4pm & fished through to 8pm. No canoes in afternoon & no more salmon.
