One of my favourite days fishing - when I caught nothing! Great river, and 100’s of rising trout - just couldn’t work out what they were feeding on. Tried 4 nymphs and half a dozen dry flies- popping right onto rising trout, big with no result. Had a couple of rises and tugs, just no real connections. Will definitely return, and hope to discover the secret next time.

Fished early morning, no salmon but Shad and trout active 5 Shad and a couple of trout. Lamprey spawning under Boughrood bridge

Good hatches Good tr outs

Very pretty beat, sadly no salmon seen or heard.

Unfortunately following a previous day of rain and sporadic showers during the day was not expecting a bumper haul, my brother lost one and caught one (under the bridge) and I fished like an absolute buffoon which is the norm on a new stretch of river, glorious stretch of water and would recommend to anyone, although either were getting older or stiles are getting taller !
Just a quick word of warning, after rainfall some of the river accesses are quite slippy so be careful.

Duo, nymphs and dries all worked. Same old story of a very large trout lost when it got the better of me and wedged itself under a rock shelf. Challenging but fun fishing.

Raining so river colouring up. managed 1 trout on dry about 12 oz. Most of beat difficult to fish., too overgrown. Nice stay at Tan farm campsite.

Sadly the promise of a rise in levels and high pressure came to nought. Also the accessible Fly water is currently reduced to just the Bridge Pool and the Pulpit/Island due to rapid growth of bank-side vegetation. The Run, the better holding area for Salmon at this level on the right bank, could not be fished by any method as I couldn’t find the usual access points down the steep banks; no doubt this will be cleared in time for the course season but I think this will be my last visit.
