2 Barbel, 8 Chub

1 Trout, 4 Other

Bright sun and gin clear water probably not the best recipe for catching salmon! Plenty of fly water available at this height (0.35m on Ross gauge). Plenty of chub around including some in the 5lb+ range

River level good, saw one fish move during early morning. fished all day with Devon Minnows and flying 'Cs'. Croys were useful on upper Beat, lower down water was difficult to get to due to very steep banks and trees. Canoe traffic busy at
times as expected. Could not fish below suspension bridge due to canoes picnicking and local families swimming.
My son caught a Shad and lost another one.

Fished hard all day, river in reasonable condition, my son caught 3 Shad on SHFC. A lot of canoes all day long.
could not fish lower part of beat due to canoes picknicking on exposed gravels.

Conditions looked perfect but no sign of salmon.

Water still too high but clarity was good. Resorted to spinning the upper parts of the beat for the day. No fish seen but had a close encounter with an otter late in the day.
