fished hard again but no good

Nothing caught or seen again today. River clearing nicely for the fly. Other member rods reported seeing a number of possibly running salmon.

I didn't catch but landed Ians fish

Fish from the rock pool. Around the 10lb mark, been in the river a while, one observation the vent on this fish looked red sore not sure why

3 Trout

Storm Antoni didn’t provide the lift that I was hoping for after turning up at 1.00. Same river level at dusk.
The river had cleared for a fly to be fished through most pools but no salmon seen.

A nice surprise early this morning with a lively coloured hen caught at the top of the beat. She’d been in the river for a little while but was in good condition with no sign of any fungal lesions. Netted briefly and quickly returned.
The river is starting to clear slightly but at 6.30am spinning was perhaps the only option.
1’8” on the gauge. The fish came to a black and gold FC in the Rock Pool. About 11lbs.

1 Salmon

Hen fish around 8/9lb from the tail of the Rock Pool on the Rectory on a black and copper flying C. Single hook fell out in the net. Fish went back strongly. River quite coloured, but not dirty and too high to fly fish.

1 Salmon

No sign of a salmon at The Rectory today.

Height of water / temperature/ overcast conditions all perfect . No Salmon seen or any pulls albeit 1 x trout .

Covered the top half of the beat well , surely they have to be somewhere and more being caught up on the higher reaches with the recent lift of water . Unless they are ploughing through the beat and not stopping .

Fingers crossed for next time out .
