Three rainbows all on a Mepps dispatched and taken home.

3 Trout

Only fished the morning in the bottom, slow moving pool. Very difficult to wade, but you can if you are patient. Sometimes you perform a few interesting dance-moves, even with a wading-stick. Again all the grayling were of a large size. Saw four "very large silvery fish" jumping in this section.

4 Grayling

ok well where to start, I have fished this beat hard over the last two days and have nothing to show for it. I have not seen a salmon, or come to that a trout or grayling, strange real strange , I sat at the hut in the willow pool for half an hour and never saw a thing. So again from this beat a nil return

nothing seen or caught

Fished using nymphs. No fish seen or caught. Tricky getting down to river as quite overgrown.

Water had a blueish colour.

Otherwise, a pleasant day out.

this was a funny and confusing day. We fished hard all three of us yesterday and to-day and didn't see or touch a thing. The willow pool and house pool look great as does the bridge, and spring pool , but they all seem baron. After a seat and chat with the boys I decided to go up to the top gutters, wow what an hour, first off a fish took on the dangle fought it for ten minutes and then ping off it swam . ok calm down and start again, bang into a different fish this one stuck, a full 9lbs the one I lost was bigger maybe about the 12lb mark It gave a quick good fight was unhooked and released without coming out of the river. On a sad point though, I came across a big diseased fish ,in the 18-20lb range, really badly covered in disease what a shame

No salmon caught or seen today.Fly moving nicely throughout the beat at 1’ 3”, on a promisingly overcast day so a little disappointing. If any fish were waiting in the lower reaches for last weeks rain, they appear to have moved on through now. A possible speeding ticket on the way added to a less than perfect day.
