First time at the beat, very enjoyable. @1'5" today, perhaps a smidge on the low side to get the best from it, but can imagine it holding fish. No Salmon seen, heard, or caught. Around 2pm there was a big hatch of Olives: trout went suitably bananas.

Arrived early for first full outing after an interminably long close season. River 0.90 m and dropping slowly with perfect colour. A water and air temp of 9 c accompanied by a northerly wind made it difficult to stay warm when wading. The river looked so fishy though.
Rewarded with a 12 lb silver torpedo at 9.30 which took a conehead Feeler Cascade presented on a T14 10 ft tip. Good fight and swam off strongly. What a start to the season !
Saw another fish head and tail by the cables. Otherwise not a single March Brown or LDO seen never mind a rising trout.
