Fished most of the pools this am, river dropping away quickly now. Nothing seen or caught on the Salmon front but Two big shad took a fancy to my fly

Early start but not any good. Conditions were good river starting to show her bones now. Two big trout caught and returned one about a pound and the other well over the 2lb mark. Just a note of caution though there is a big branch stuck in the willow pool and if not removed might cost you a fish.

Early afternoon, Monday 1 July, Magnus Philipps caught a 6 to 8 pound cock Salmon on a trout line at the end of the neck, Rectory pool - beautiful fish and safely returned.

3 x trout 6-11 inches, Parachute Adams. Oh dear! I have to report another beat which badly needs some trimming and access work, just after penning a piece for the newsletter about the wonderful fishing in the Golden Valley. There are a few gaps at the top where I did my best, but the lower end is thoroughly overgrown. What I can't understand is that, according to information I have been given, this was last done in January 2015 and yet it is supposed to be an adopted beat? What happened to the maintenance last winter?

The barbel didn't come on until 8.15pm, chub very active before that.
