Lovely day fishing but unfortunately no catch.

A nice day fishing some lovely fly water, no fish but enjoyable nevertheless, I'm sure I'll be back. (Thanks to Mick and Mark D for their kind guidance on where to fish as well!).

Lovely spring conditions,water at nice height and clear but no sign of fish at all.

First day out since Lockdown and it was good to be back at Goodrich. The river was fining down and a bit higher than I would have liked, although wading was possible in places (with care). Caught two chub on the fly, the largest around 3.5 to 4lb. Not the salmon I was hoping for, but it saved a blank.

2 Chub

River a bit high but a pleasant day. No sign of any salmon.

No fish caught. Possible sighting of a jumping salmon. Had a great day with Mick the ghillie, would highly recommend him.

River was a foot too high to make fishing with a fly properly realistic.

Very cold (water at 5 °) and the water was a little high but most beats were fishable. No fish seen by me but my fellow angler managed to catch one from the Vanstone in the morning. The beat is very well maintained with steps into and from the beats making life easy. The maddox stream fished particularly well at this height and my second trip through was rewarded with a lively seatrout of about 4lbs.

9lb salmon caught at The V

Nothing caught - water still high, fast and coloured so wading was very limited to near the bank on upper beats.
