Warm sunshine, low water. All fish returned

Gin clear water made it good fun sight fishing to some lumpy fish downstream of the bridge. a few olives coming off but not a huge hatch. I had 3 from 12 to 14" which all took dries, they torn line off when hooked in thin water.
It was very heartening to see a good pod of Grilse swim past and one bar of silver leapt just in front of me "wow" the the sun caught his silver flanks.

1 x Shad caught while fly fishing for salmon. Two jumping salmon seen. Great help from Ghillie Colin. Overall a lovely beat. Shame about the pollution in the river from upstream, we speculate is sewage.

No salmon caught or seen. 1 1.5lb trout took a cascade fly from the top of the run downstream of the foot bridge.

The morning was spent fishing conventional wet flies on the left bank with no success. In the afternoon, I switched to a midge dry fly pattern on a long leader on the right bank fishing to rising fish. Two to the net with two further near misses.
