Nil. Thanks to Mike and Phil for their advice.

First time on this beat for me. Lovely weather, starting with a breeze that became quite chill at the end of the afternoon.
Managed 7 WBT to hand all in good nick and returned safely. I used my 5ft 2weight which served me well - only a couple of times did I wish it was a 6ft or a 4ft!. Saw two splashy rises but could not tempt anything with dry.
There didn't seem to be much emerging. So all caught on gold head nymphs. Deep run nymphing hit many underwater obstructions. Trees and bushes are still bare of leaves. Water was clear and flowing well but was not as high as I expected, therefore wading was very easy. There was a disappointing amount of waste debris on and in the water both natural and caused by humans. Searched for the fourth, but could only find three car wheels.

Superb 32 lb cock fish from the tail of Beat 1

1 Salmon, 2 Trout

A sparkling Spring afternoon accompanied by a helpful upstream breeze, stunning surroundings and a trickle of March Browns. Little activity but I managed to miss all three rises on the point fishing NZ style. A bit rusty after the Winter. This was only a short session; I had to stop when I could no longer feel my legs!

Nice day, river a little high but of good colour. No fish seen or caught

A very cold but it was fishing well up until 4pm then not a bite after.
