A first time reccie out for us on this beat and definitely one to visit more !
The water was pushing through a fair bit , which came as no surprise , but running clear and if nothing else it was just good to go and stand in a river at last . Been a long winter and lousy start to spring for sure . A cold downstream wind today
The river up here has a surprising number of fairly deep pots and good runs and is very sinous and looks as though it could be fabulous below the weir when it's all calmed down and greened up . Mind you you can see it will be a bit of jungle when it does but thats the wild streams for you of course . All great fun .
We saw some elvers just above the weir.
The riverbed was littered with cased Caddis which bodes well and we had 5 fish between the two of us, 8 to 11 inch and a touch lean perhaps but in good nick otherwise and very pleased with that all things considered . Beautiful Arrow fish as always . A small bedhead pheasant tail and Holy Grail accounted for the fish , nothing rising today or any reason to suggest they would . Next time ....and looking forward much to that !
By the way we got on to the river by dropping down in to the river at the lower car park and did the short funny walk under the bridge.

Although the river level was near perfect a cold wind made fishing quite difficult. There was little sign of fly life and no sign at all of any rising fish. One tout of a little under a pound was caught on a GRHE nymph and safely returned. MP & RJ.

Blustery day with strong downstream wind. Water clearing after yesterdays rain.
Tried nymphs initially, hooked 3 small fish (about 12 oz) and landed 2, at the downstream end of the beat.
About 1pm went to top of beat to try dries.
Nothing hatching and no fish moving. Turning over the leader into the wind was hard work. Gave up just before 3pm with no interest whatsoever.

2 x trout 11 and 14 inches, Dark Moorgame and Waterhen Bloa. Water running a rich red colour, less than 12 inches visibility this morning although it was beginning to clear later. No hatches or rises seen up to 2 o'clock.

21lb cock fish in beautiful condition to Lukasz. His personal best salmon. The fish came to a black flying C and measured 98cm. The fish was caught from the Ross A.C. Weirend fishery.

River was running fast and dropping with some colour. Water visibility was about 30cm which meant reading the water and wading above knee height was tricky. Fished about half the beat and finding fish was challenging. Eventually found bouncing a weighted (4mm tungsten bead) nymph along the bottom Polish style tempted bites. Lost 4 and landed one trout and one out of season grayling both about 25cm.
