23lbs fresh run cock salmon caught on 2 inch yellow tube at 9am from tail of Windmill. Water perfect height & colour (cloudy grey/green. Light frost at first becoming bright cloudless warm day No other touches. About 20 canoeists from mid morning to early pm but none after about 2.30 thankfully. Saw one other salmon of about 15lbs in Electric Lines about 5pm. Very surprised not to see more fish. Left other chums still at it at about 6.30pm.

Good day at Goodrich. Friend had a sealiced cracker first thing 23lbs. We all fished hard, got wet - it was a tad high at top end of fishery (Ross 0.65m) and sun burnt forearms. Fished tubes and Minnows and covered much of the beat by all 4 of us. A few fish showing in Vanstone late on - seemed to show themselves after covering them but not actually touching the fly (tried all sorts to no effect). Good day but damn hard work in the sun etc but friend was handsomely rewarded. Many thanks WUF.

Nice but blank day, level was the lowest I have seen it in the last few weeks but still high and fast flowing. Wading possible on the Lines & Vanstone (at least) but hard work with the current. Water coloured but not grossly so and worth having a go with a fly although I spent more time with a Flying C.
Huge Grammon hatches at times, particularly late morning, but no trout rising to them.
Banks very slippery near the water, particularly on Maddox and Corner Tree.

Nice day out but no fish taken. One fish moved at Vanstone. Water very high with colour, no point wading for most of it as you would be up to your chest on stepping in.

No fish seen or taken.

Water high and very coloured; sun came out more and more through the day, though levels dropped - no fish.

Blank day, river fast and very coloured.

This looks like a lovely bit of fly fishing when the river is about a foot lower than I experienced. I shall definitely book again in the future.

Two Pike caught spinning. No salmon seen. River at 1ft 10ins
Disappointing as a fly beat at this water height.

2 Pike

No salmon, one seen but we think it was a kelt. Two trout largest around 1.5 lb both returned. Lovely day.
