1 Barbel

The fish were very easy to spook until dusk when I caught two and missed a few more on a CDC spinner. One was 12" and the other 10".

2 Trout

No fish caught. The rain we had yesterday appears to have had no effect on the river.
Three fish rose below the neck of the Rectory and they were in the same place as at my last visit.
Two of these fish (In the Pot area) looked a bit long and lean. The other fish looked reasonable.
I hate to say this but a flood lasting a few days is required.
Still, enjoyed myself as usual.

Salmon from the bottom of the spring pool, a very large cock fish around 28 to 30lbs. Taken on the fly, took me over a hundred yards down river, and nearly an hour to land it.

1 Salmon

Other = 2 Salmon Parr. All fish caught on emergers ..... shuttlecocks and Klinkhammer river had risen appx 9-12in after overnight rain. Good rise at around 1230 didnt start fishing until 1130am. Myself and my fishing partner had roughly the same amount of fish each. Both lost a few fish. All in all a good day. A bit challenging at times . Bottom of stretch and wading upstream proved to be best.

Fishing one of my favourite beats. Great start with 5 barbel all over 8lb in 6 casts and then the sun came out and the whole river seemed to switch off. River desperately needs some rain as it was gin clear and very very low.

Saw three salmon jumping at the same time one was in excess of 20lb. Spent a couple of hours birdwatching instead of fishing!
