Beautiful day, but perhaps too bright for the fish - just had a couple of small takes on Klinkhammers.

Fished with fly, river was clear and good height. No fish caught.

Spinning from first light on a beautiful morning. River was quiet, until I got as far as Roberts Crib where my spinner was hit hard by a salmon which proceeded to cartwheel immediately and threw the hooks! Apart from a small pike late morning that was it I’m afraid! Stunning beat!

As the level had dropped slightly and weather glorious (too bright!), took a walk along and managed 1 trout to gold head nymph. Still a tinge of colour and would benefit from a few inches less water. Lovely way to spend a few hrs in the sunshine though.

First time on this beat. The tail pool, which is the only real "pool" on this beat, doesn't really take a fly well (but for the tail of the tail, which was a nice cast). So spent most of my time in the run below tail to the bottom boundary. Some really nice fly water down there but can't imagine there are many lies but for a few deep holes. Some seriously nice trout moving (at least two upwards of 3 lb) but no salmon about. Would be interesting to fish the tail in high water I think

Too bright and warm for much today. Barely saw a fish all day and no interest. tried nymphs, klinks and the odd dry in the evening. Fun stretch of river to fish though!

As an aside, at the top pool two teenagers arrived with a spinning reel and started fishing and only left when they realised we were calling to report them.

Fishing was very hard, weather so hot, and around 300 canoes passed the beat!!!!Unbelivable ...for sure last time during w.e. on this stretch of water!

Two small around 10"trouts caught and realesed back. Water level a bit higher than normal, very clear. Lovely stretch of the river. Recommended to anyone

Fished all day, but may be too bright.
