You couldn't have been more helpful to me, thank you. Sadly no fish were caught by me.

After losing a fish back in May I've not made it back to the bank with the river in good order, most of the good sport falling midweek which I could not make the most of. So it was great to be back on the rectory in good conditions (Many thanks again). It was snowing last time I fished here! I started early as i knew there was rain on the way which could spoil things for me. At about 1030 I made the most of this opportunity and had a 15lb fresh hen from the top of Rock Pool my first landed on the fly. Fished on untill the river started to come back up again and went home very wet and very happy. Thanks to WUF for making this possible.

1 fresh 14 pounder, cock - Gravel Catch (tail). Willie's Imperial, size 8 (ish). 1pm. Lost another in The Bridge Pool
Great lunch time! And with 5 from the beat at 2pm, a terrific day for the beat.

River in best nick for a while (2ft and clear) and fished for a hour in morning and another hour in the rain in the evening. One hand shake in the Gravel Catch first up but no further action despite the other rods having fish of 15, 15, 14, 12, 10 and 9lbs. Saw one fish show.

A red letter day on a lovely beat with good company. 3 salmon caught, 9,10 & 15lb. All slightly coloured but belters all the same. Great to watch others take fish and a very easy drive home, very happy!

After a six day blank in Norway and several other blanks it was nice to finally get off the mark with a coloured hen fish of about 8lds from just above the big Rock in the Rock Pool. Had another more lively fish on for quite a while and two other pulls all around the same spot.
1st time through the Gravel Catch landed a bright silver Cock fish of approx 12lb, no lice but very fresh, taken from above the power lines.
Throughout my day I must have seen over 30 fish including a tail walking Grilse which would show after I had covered it. Both fish taken on a Red Cascade and safely returned.
A shame to see so few fisherman on the river!

River coloured with Ithon water. Would have been a wash off but the large number of running salmon apparent kept you plugging away. Saw 20 or so show in two runs down the gravel catch alone. A mix of fresh run salmon and grilse and a few big coloured springers.

Interesting beat with a great variety of water. Started very early and fished the Rock pool very thoroughly for no result only to be shamed by Simon Evans who fished it after me and pulled out 2 fish.
Weather remained awful all day and the river rose quite a bit. I then concentrated on the gravel catch, which is a lovely bit of water and was finally rewarded with a beautiful fresh salmon of aprox 12lb.
Thanks for all the advice and direction Simon.

2 rods fished whole day. River holding at 2ft. 1 very fresh hen fish of around 11lb from Gravel catch around 9.30am. Another strong pull missed in Bridge pool in the morning and a fish lost in the Bridge pool after 20 seconds in the afternoon. 4 shad. Saw four salmon show which is notable as have seen very few in past month or so. Trout were steadily rising all day in the Gravel catch and Bridge flats.

A disappointing day - having arrived at crack of dawn, I did not catch anything apart from 1 Chub. Didn't have a pull or touch from anything resembling a Salmon. Saw one move but nothing. Work intervened at Midday, and I will bet that the fish started to be active late afternoon/ evening.
Met a very nice Gentleman on the beat, and I hope he had some luck as the day wore on!
