Feedback & Reports

Struggled in low clear water conditions. Fished for trout only as far too low for Salmon. Landed and returned four small trout between us fishing sub surface with nymphs and grannom pattern. Good hatch of sizeable grannom 1-3pm but little else. Cloudy 13deg 0.48m.

Fly fishing for trout took 2 trout of 10 oz on floating line with subsurface nymphs. Both returned.

No fish caught

Lovely day to be out on the river albeit the level was quite low. Spent all day with the double hander but no sign of any salmon, just a very small brownie which put a creditable bend in the fifteen footer for such a small fish.
A few hatches during the day but no trout rising so didn't bother setting up the trout rod.

A very cold opening day on this new beat which has some lovely water although a little high. A few dark olives were hatching early afternoon but no trout were seen rising. Both rods were fishless however we did see a beautiful salmon being returned which was very encouraging.

Fresh hen salmon approx.18-20lbs from platform at bottom of steps [right bank The Rocks Pool].Caught on an orange pot bellied pig using DT#10 Sink Tip. Hope this amazing start continues all the way to end of season.
