It was quite early in the season, fishing was hard, river running heavy. We were using pheasant tail and hairs ear bead nymphs down deep but to no avail. It was though a beautiful spot and we had a great day and hey this is fishing and why we do it. Thanks for your hard work WUF for making this type of water available to us.
Kind regards

High, but clear water after a floods from Storm Katy and a generally cloudy day made for good conditions. A nice 18 lb cock springer. Taken on a gold body Willie Gunn fished deep.

1 Salmon, 1 Grayling

This is commando fishing fighting with the vegetation but fun none the less.

6 x trout 6-10 inches, Goldbead Hare's Ear. The brook continues very high with most pools too turbulent for best fishing. Nothing rising. Still, nowhere else looks too good at the moment. Had a pleasant chat with the EA lady come round for a monitoring visit. Their electro-fishing results seem to confirm our general fishing experience - not a bad little stream with a population including juvenile salmon.

2 foot 5 on gauge and 3 foot visibility. No salmon seen. trout rod out in middle of day for 3 fish from 10-12 inches, couldn't tempt a much larger trout rising in the pool just above the Edw junction.

Combination lock on third gate didn't open with the code that was given in the pdf.
Left my car just outside the gate which was fine as there was room for one car.
Great day, although fishing still a bit slow.
WUF Note : We've had no other reports of there being a problem with the combination lock but we will be investigating.
