My friend had one chub of about 3.5lb. I was using float ledgered deadbait for the Pike. Had 4 fish of approximately: 5lb, 9lb, 9lb and 11lb.
As in a previous session, the Pike went frantic at around 2:00pm for an hour when I had three of my fish. The last came at around 4:30pm. A good session, though the Pike were a little smaller than the average size.

1 Chub, 4 Pike

Perfect conditions, even slower pools fished well with the fly. No salmon yet. Great to be out.

Water starting to fine down but still well up. Hazy sunshine, water temp. still only 5c. Air got up to 10c, no wind. Went right down to lower limit. First cast only 3ft from the side, a barbel at 8lb 8oz. Mate then had a barbel and a chub all on halibut pellit. Moved up to Rope Pool opposite trees had a barbel and a chub.
Moved again to the upper limit and had a barbel and 5 more chub. All fish came to halibut pellet with a 4oz feeder. Water still cold, move on to Courtfield for the last day.

A cool day. The river looked in good condition and it certainly looks different in the Winter. Two nice barbel caught mid day in the swim below the power lines.

Another blank day I'm afraid though weather better than last week but temperature 9deg and water 0.88m. No fly life visible and a keen east wind meant a difficult day. Went from above through Roch Pool for both salmon and trout with no takes though you felt you were in with a shout!!
Wood stream and below bridge too high.

4 x trout 10-13 inches, Waterhen Bloa and Dark Moorgame. Late afternoon session. Last of the dark olives just finishing for the day, but trout continued to come up to spiders for an hour or so. It's getting warmer at last.
