9 lbs cock fish from Weirend beat of Ross waters on a small single hooked mepps spinner

1 Salmon

The brook is very low and clear at the moment, but the fish are feeding. There was a Mayfly hatch around 2pm, which sent the the trout into a frenzy. However they didn't seem interested in any of my dry flies for some reason.

Eventually I managed to get some to take the nymph by doing a slow retrieve in the deeper pools. Really nice to be out again, even if I've forgotten how to cast!

One salmon lost in the Vanstone Pool. River level low and weed a continuous problem.

Double-handed fly rod. A lot of blanket weed and algae, so viability not good. No fish seen. Despite that, I had a great day; thanks to Mick Sutton, the Ghillie. He has intimate knowledge of the water and is great company. I look forward to returning when water conditions are better and there are salmon coming through.

Fished up to the bridge. 6 fish caught , two at 11 inches, one on a dry fly the other on a nymph the rest were small trout all caught on nymphs. Missed a few takes to a dry fly.

Some upwing hatches, including large brook dun, but very little response from the fish. Caught one 9” wbt on a pheasant tail nymph, and two smaller fish on the dry, and hooked a few more.
