Monday - the river was up and brown - hardly worth fishing
Tuesday - still coloured and fish all bottom feeding - hardly any rise - 1 x 1 1/4lb trout taken on sunken wet fly.

River running quite fast and a bit coloured, weather nice wading a bit tricky as you cant walk along the bank in most places no rises seen no fish caught but a pleasant spot.

No fish seen, no fish caught.

One trout approx 7" on dry - parachute adams, should have had a few more as plenty were rising.

Water .92m and kept above .9m all day. Too deep and fast to wade safely so stuck to bank or margins and fished nearside bank with roll casts. No success on salmon in both wood stream and below bridge down to wires. Decided to switch to trout using size 14 greenwells nymph on point and partridge/orange spider on dropper. 3 trout landed all taking the greenwells nymph. Best 12oz.

Rain came in with squally showers and wind. Casting became difficult so called it a day.

Little or no hatch during day

One fish showed opposite fence end but none caught.

Took a fair few to cdc emerger and size 20 nymph. Very weird, warm day with plenty of fly life, hardly any fish rising. What were i took, the bead-head klink and dink took the rest.

Heavy rain and strong winds, stuck it out all day, 2 fish each to wet flies and lures, best 1.25lb.

Water slightly coloured with overnite showers. Lost a salmon about 8lb in top of Maddox pool on Flying C. Had fish on for 5 mins or so. Fished on up through with no more salmon seen or showing surprisingly, not even in the Vanstone Pool
Had an enjoyable couple of days salmon fishing will be back soon.
Stayed at the Wyndham Arms in clearwell.

Waded the upper section of the beat, reasonable underfoot but very deep in places. River fast and clear, but neither sight nor sign of a fish all day.
