We parked at the pump house building and went across the field down stream. We were fishing with Spam, sausage and bread but couldn't tempt anything. However, I saw my first wild Salmon rise around 08.00 in the second usable swim. I was privileged to see the full body breech of a deep and long fish and the tail was amazing. I would estimate this fish to be over 10lbs, what a sight and my first wild sighting. There were plenty of rising fish, which could ave been sizeable browns or even grayling taking flies off the top. Hopefully we'll visit again next year and this time I'll bring my fly tackle as well. Many thanks to local gentleman who steered us in the right direction and to Terry for his texts. Steve

Good conditions but high water temp. made for a difficult day with ten swims tried between the three of us. We all landed a Barbel each ranging from 4 and a half to just over 7lbs. with three fish lost to hook pulls etc. Chub taken on meat on the lead and bread on the float, Barbel = 2 on meat 1 = Red Robin pellet. Other was an Eel on meat. Noticed a lot of trees have been removed, easy access? easy fishing? completely changed the aspect of several swim I'm afraid.
