Lovely day just bouncing through the beat , albeit I was very doubtful in my mind of catching any silver tourists with the river being on its bones . One can still enjoy listening to the birds singing and other wildlife flitting by.
Stopped at the hut for a bite to eat , always enjoy sitting on the veranda for an hour or so , really appreciate the hut being there for us, what I don’t appreciate is the person who smoked and left his butts everywhere and stubbed his cigarette out on the shelve of the hut . Bloody moron ! I cleaned your butts inside the hut too , not only could you have caused a serious fire but also ruining it for other members ( unless you was on a day ticket )

Fished from Island Run to the Flats and from Mill race to Neck of Rectory. Nothing seen. Despite the rain showers, it was a lovely day. The water was "gin" clear, all that was missing was the elusive salmon!

My guest (my son) had a mixed day! He caught a trout, but his waders (my old ones) leaked like a sieve. It rather limited his (and then my) day.

Fished a salmon fly in the few deeper pools with 8’’ on the gauge. Nothing seen.
There was a big shoal of lady spawners in the top of the beat today which constantly beat any trout to the fly. There were some good sized trout amongst them though. Very few rising fish seen all day despite a decent mixed olive hatch around 1.00 o’clock. Fish were taken on spiders and nymphs.
The “others” were from the sizeable population of tiny grayling and trout parr which made a bit of a nuisance of themselves in the low water. Hopefully, they won’t be cleaned out by predatory birds if this dry spell persists.
All fish in good condition and quickly returned.

Chilly, windy day. No sign of salmon except a couple of salmon parr when I tried for trout at end of the day!
