6 (small) BT caught & returned. French nymphing gold bead nymphs of various size (12-16). River clear and flowing well. Fished morning only.

River slightly high and murky. No salmon but did catch several salmon parr and brown trout between 4 and 6 inches.

Nil caught. Very hot and bright. Saw 1 salmon. Neverthelss had a nice day and will return.

One small grilse briefly hooked on a fly just below the fishing lodge in the rapids. It shook itself free after a few jumps and shot off downstream. No other salmon showing.

Fished hard from 6am to 10pm without a touch. Water in perfect nick at about 1ft 10inches but bright sunny conditions weren't ideal. Thought this would probably have hampered everyone but was surprised to learn that they'd had 6 from the Rectory just downstream. Only saw one fish, a big red fish in the Bachawy pool.

6 small trout and a 3-4lb grilse in the morning. A 15lbs salmon from infront the lodge at 2pm in the afternoon. The salmon was marginally bigger than those landed by the other rods who both also landed fine fish. A great day out.

One 14lb cock fish, caught in Bathing pool and also lost one. Water in good condition. Great days fishing and good company with the other two rods.

Water was very high and fast having had a wash off previously we felt we had to go this time. No fish rising, plenty of small trout/salmon par and grayling to 8", a couple of larger grayling to 10". Most went to heavy gold head nymphs and a couple to klink & dink.

River fast flowing and discoloured. No fish seen rising during period fished (10-2pm). No fish caught.

Fresh 10 pound salmon from Arnie's Pool on size 8 Red Francis at 8pm - water evidently clear enough for modest-sized fly.
