River up around 4 foot with a hint of colour - looked pretty much perfect. No bites, No fish!

Two OOS trout and three Grayling were taken and returned at the top and middle section of the beat.
A ginger Tom did the business in a dropping river that was clearing. Heaven!

2 Trout, 3 Grayling

Haven't fished here with the water over the red-line at Erwyd before. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I was expecting to need scuba gear to fish, but about 2/3 was fishable. The rest was dangerous to say the least, but the experience of fishing in high water was worth having.
Shame the same can't be said for the amount of salmon seen. Caught one trout for my sins...
Also, thank you to the other gentleman who was grayling fishing. It seems I left my boot lid open and he kindly shut it. Can't understand how I dd that....Well that's all folks for another season. One to forget again, wasn't it....

10lb Hen, surprisingly fresh, off Beat 3 around 3pm this afternoon - Cascade tube fly. Beautiful afternoon, nice way to sign-off for the season. Water high but clearing - should be perfect in a couple of days!

River too high to fish safely.

River at 1100mm and weather fair. We saw no salmon all day, but still enjoyed our day on the bankside. The Chainbridge pub has changed hands again - we hope the new landlord can make a go of it.

Coloured cock fish with a well developed kype , estimated at between 20 and 25lb ( yes, a right monster)from between the Island run and the Rock Pool. Fished a slow sinking line with a 10ft fast sink polytip. Took an inch and a quarter aluminium tube cascade on my last cast of the season! Took 20 minutes to land, kept in the net and returned safely to go off and do his job.

Hard conditions, water levels up, all fish caught on normal feeder tactics if you can hold bottom????

1 Barbel, 5 Chub

14lb hen salmon from the slacker water just below the croy on Leaning Willow Pool. Taken on 1.5 inch Hairy Mary tube fly. Went off strongly.

Buith gauge dropped to 1.45 so thought it was worth a go with the trotting rod . Feeding an occasional handful of maggots soon got the fish feeding and had a cracking couple of hours . The Grayling were mostly around the 1/2 lb mark but had one cracker just over 2lbs . In between plenty of OS browns a few dace and what I think is a Roach ! Well worth an absolute drenching
