not much to shout about today one or two following in on spinner but no catch but in all a nice day but was not happy about dogs been in water as it did spoil the fishing

Fished from 6am temp went from too cold to too hot. Water still a high height to safely wade and a bit coloured, but had an enjoyable few hours. Didn't see any Salmon but a few small trout splashing around.

lovely few hours , huge amount of fly on water but nothing rising. all fell for 2.5mm baetis nymph fished along the bottom. size all in the 10-12 inch mark.

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
