Nothing caught - spent a couple of hours working the pools mid-beat, but total lack of rises was slightly dis-heartening!

1 grayling returned (approximately 1lb) towards the top end of the beat. Water low and very clear.

No fish caught, a few fish started to rise but never really got going. Nice beat, will return for another go soon...

Another good day on the Courtfield water. 1 Salmon of 10-12 pounds and two kelts.

Spent a couple of peaceful hours pm on a glorious spring afternoon. Saw 4 rises but tempted nothing. Did see pair of goosanders and a mink.

1 x 9 1/2" trout (returned). Size 18 goldhead black nymph.

5 grayling, 0 trout. Weather was perfect for March, no wind and rising to 16c although the water was still cold. The river was at 12in, again perfect for this beat. The water was gin clear and the fish easily spooked. There was a steady hatch from 11 to 3 but the fish were reluctant to rise this early in the season.
We saw a number of very small trout, but the bigger fish were probably still in the depths. The grayling were more obliging - the largest fish was 1.5lb.

Beautifull beat. Fished from 12 to 5. Regular rising. Caught 6 WBT on dry flies. 1 was 20cm and 5 between 30 to 37cm. Took one, returned 5.

Good days fishing, Very quiet to start but at 1230 the sun came out and had three brown trout in quick succession in the Bridge pool. All returned. Then too good a lunch to return to fish in the PM. Thanks.

Very low water on a cloudy day. This cloud eventually lifted by about 1pm to turn the day into a sunny, bright afternoon. Fished a fair amount of the beat with the fly, but didn't have a touch from any salmon. Used the spinner in a few of the pools as well, and managed to interest a couple of Pike and one large chub. Didn't see any signs of salmon, which was disappointing. Rain needed.
