A bit of water in the river today & perhaps should have booked a salmon day?Fish have moved around a bit I think with the fresh water .Struggled to locate them . Was made up for by another sighting of a young otter plying his trade.Must have been a good breeding year for Goosanders by the look of it. Very pleasant day thank you WUF.

Caught on an upstream nymph. Overhanging trees could do with being cut back for easier access and casting. Summer level water.

Only fished the afternoon. Nice height, water colour and overhead conditions but cooler and downstream wind made presentation difficult. No rise to speak of though pale wateries and stone flies about. Stuck to French leader but struggled to get takes. Biggest grayling 39cms. Two otters seen at close range. Watched one shoot the fast water by the island. The other swam to within 10 metres of me before diving and swimming past submerged. Two stand of Japanese knotweed on the island. Stayed dry, unlike my first visit; glad I made that wading staff.

Having seen from the Natural Resources website that the Senni had had a rise in level after the recent rain, I thought I would take the long drive in the hope that the river would be refreshed. It was indeed flowing well, and very clear. Quite an assortment of flies hatching as well, so I was quite hopeful. However, despite various tactics could only land one at 10" on a tiny midge. Bit frustrating as the river looks very 'trouty', especially the lovely runs and pools on the bottom stretch up to the bridge.
Will try again. Did see Herons and Kingfishers which is always nice.

River just fishable at 1ft, but no salmon seen or encountered. 3 trout to 13" and a grayling of 14" suggested I would have been better off targeting them. Quite a few repairs are needed on the beat, including a dodgy stile and, particularly, the upper planks, which are now jutting at a crazy angle above the water.
