Did not fish...Ophelia turned the river into leaf soup. So ends the 2017 season.

Strange and slightly frustrating morning, at one point almost like an eclipse in eerie orange light as the storm came on and winds strengthened. Eventually packed up with nothing to report, two casts out of three requiring leaf removal, even using a single hook fly. That's me for migratory fish this year.

Caught my first ever salmon today. Coloured fish of 33" to a tube fly on a sink tip from chapel catch. Was half tempted to just stay at home, what with all the weather warnings etc but glad I didn't. Very windy and blustery in the afternoon but river had decent clarity and I was just about able to get a decent line out. Bring on next season!

No joy.

Good to be on the river but no joy

No fish caught . Hooked two fish in the Chapel Pool but both dropped the fly. Gave up in disgust as every cast hooked a leaf. The water height and colour was perfect, but very gusty winds and the dreaded leaves caused me to call it a day for this year.
Merry Christmas to all

No takers, river carrying a fair bit of colour and high.
