Water high but clarity ok fished the bachawy with the skagit and some big flies this morning nothing to report

Well this is a most welcome addition to the passport ! Thank you Colonel ! All fish in the 12 - 14 " range and feisty little buggers they were too ! A return visit is on the calendar for next season, well done WUF for securing this water.

Very nice and picturesque beat. River in excellent condition. Slow action but managed to catch 1 Barbel around 10 lb (77 cm) and 2 nice Chubs.

River was in flood all day, still saw a big salmon jump early morning

2'7" dropping to 2'3" through the day. Water 52oF, slight stain. Fished sink tips and sinking lines. Nothing seen and no offers.
The new parking arrangement is very simple and works well. As expected all planks are very slippery!

5 Trout

Fishing called off, due to high water levels and coloured water.

One trout (around 1.5 pounds) caught on gold-head nymph on the edge of the fast water. The river was high and coloured after over-night heavy rain.

Fished the Legg Meadow section and really struggled. I'm not an experienced river angler and struggled a bit with managing the flow and the amount of debris coming down.
Managed a baby Barbel around 10am, but the sun came out and while another angler seemed to catch steadily I couldn't find the fish. Had a small Chub just on dusk but that was my lot.
Lovely surroundings and I'll be back with a score to settle soon enough.

When the river is high Wyebank becomes problematic and the croys were nowhere to be seen when we arrived....Despite the testing conditions the fish were feeding as clearly the slight drop in water over the past couple of days helped our cause.
Much to our delight we managed to catch some cracking Dace some of which were in the the 8 to 10oz bracket a few nice chub and a couple of good Barbel over 7lb.
The boat traffic was lighter than usual due to the adverse conditions and clearly some people are braver than us....We observed a young couple paddle down the racing river together on a bodyboard with no life jackets on and the lad was wearing chest waders!! Each to their own I guess...

3 Barbel, 9 Chub, 4 Other

Been hoping for a little rain for the last few weeks, the trouble is there is never a happy medium! River very high indeed and rich muddy Brown so kept myself warm and dry. Perhaps try again in a couple of days but I see more rain forecast for the end of the week. On the optimistic side though, at least the water should encourage a few fish up river
