18lb salmon from The Stones on a SHFC. A few others seen in the Dog Hole and Stones. Water remained coloured throughout the day with the water height consistent at 0.72m on the Ross gauge. Fly fishing a challenge as a result.

River up and coloured so did not fish

Very cold and wet. The river had risen and coloured from the previous day. We had to use fast sinking tips to get the flies down. Managed to hook five and land none . Roll on warmer weather.

Wet and windy morning come nice late afternoon no fish caught today

River was high but dropped down over the course of the afternoon into perfect height. The downside was the clarity, which did improve throughout the day but sadly no fish seen or caught. Today will be the day, no doubt!

Heavy rain the day before led to a plug of water coming down river overnight. Although dropping quickly as we arrived we were faced with coloured water which made this beat effectively unwadeable. River height and clarity improved during the day but weather conditions didn’t with strong down river wind, heavy rain and an intense hailstorm. Despite there was the odd ldo coming off now and then and a brief hatch brought fish to the surface which refused our offerings. End result was 2 fish touched with one about 12 inches landed, taken on a deep run tungsten nymph. Cold and tiring but still a pleasure to be on the river.

Originally two of us were to fish but one dropped out due to illness. I went alone and found the river high and slightly coloured. No fish rising or visible and none caught, but a very pleasant day in this pretty village with a great pub!
