River level low and clear very sunny there was a hatch of March Brown very early on aprox 9.30 with no reaction, with a few hatching through out the day. Mostly caught on nymphs, I took two on drys which both was rising in the tails of the pools largest fish was a trout 1lbs 1/4

4 Trout, 2 Grayling

16 lb fish this morning, 3 casts with single hook fly c after 3 hours of fly fishing. Exasperating at times this fishing business.

1 Salmon

Lots of granom flying although very little hatching, think they came off the day before.
A few fish rising especially in the morning to egg layers. Temperature suddenly dropped in the late afternoon, and ended the sport after a glorious hot sunny day.
Trout to about 10 inch, and a few out of season grayling, some of the larger fish looked a little worse for ware presumably after spawning.
First Swallows of the year

Level at 0.68 at Ross. Nice height and plenty of fly water on this beat. Given the good weather it was also busy with walkers and a fair few canoes. My friend had a pull on the fly straight after which an estimated 20lb + salmon leapt clear of the water. I then hooked a c. 15lb salmon on a flying c only for it to thrash at the surface and throw the hook after about 15 secoinds or so. Both contacts in Slaughter crib. Only other action was a 5lb pike and a small brown trout.
