Small trout, 7 - 8 Inches, one other lost. Very pretty stretch of water.

Very little sign of any fish rising until mid afternoon despite seemingly ideal conditions on this lovely stretch of river. When the fish finally did take an interest in surface fly (I tried various nymphs sub-surface before this), I started to get quite a bit of interest in my Klinkhammer offering. Unfortunately for me I seemed unable to connect, probably because I was a little too eager (striking too early?) on my first day out this year. Eventually I did manage to connect and with a wonderful fish around 18" in length which put-up a significant fight; very satisfying.

Perfect weather conditions.
River was 1 foot too low.
No fish showed throughout our time on the river
Used a variety of Flies, but mostly size 12 or smaller.
Fished a total of 7 hours each

Started well with small trout on surface then howling and cold wind put paid to the fun.
No shortage of rises in the early hour before sense prevailed.

Both fish taken on nymphs, and safely returned.

No fish caught.

With the gauge at Ross showing sub 0.3 wading is possible from the bridge to the ‘pipe’ where you can exit on the right bank, (just beyond new steps and a good 200mtrs below bridge), which gives you access to some terrific fly water. There is a definite lie midstream/midway from bridge to shallows, opposite leaning willow on left bank, as I had a fish there last season and a good pull there this time. The left bank, outside the Island is also an easy stretch with some excellent opportunities at this depth. Even using an intermediate tip and half inch tungsten tube-flies, various patterns, it rarely snagged the bottom. A very pleasant days fishing with no Salmon landed but one bar of silver of approx. 10lb got the heart racing when it jumped right over the rod-tip!

Took advantage of the break between showers to walk part of the beat. A few fish rising but no luck with the dry. One wbt caught on nymph by my 10 year old son who was accompanying me (and exploring under stones). His first trout to the fly! Fantastic!
