Small 8 inch trout caught on a pheasant tail. Healthy & in good condition. Released without harm.

Didn't see any rising fish till very late on, and there was no interest in the weighted nymph. One or two rises to klinkhammer.

Fished the afternoon into the evening. Not much rising during the day with the odd olive coming off the water. Caught one of about 12ozs on ptn. More rises in the evening, not sure to what. Went through the fly box and rose and missed a few on various different patterns but couldn't determine what the fish were focussed on. Went away a tad frustrated. Pleasant day out.

The weather was sunny/cloud. The river condition was good. Blanked, tried every method and nothing worked. Not even any takes. Disappointing but just one of those days.

River up slightly, fish caught on pellet wagler and feeder. Be warned this is a very snaggy stretch lots of feeders lost on snags. This is a very good stretch with good access but is very expensive tackle wise.

No salmon caught. Red fish seen jumping am. Conditions were good; clearing water and river falling. Couple of fish seen splashing up (running?) the pools by the foot bridge. No chases or takes on fly or spinner.
One unidentifiable fish caught on spinner. Like a Chubb but with translucent face and tuna type tail. Course fishermen shown but they could not identify it either. If you want to see photos of that fish please send an email address you want them sent to. All fish released.
Sorry about delay getting back to you but I was locked out of my email.
