The weather was quite changeable, but a stiff down stream breeze made the fishing a little difficult.

There was a hatch of march browns, but unfortunately this didn't bring the fish up. Only one fish was seen rising all day, which I managed to tempt with claret clinkhammer.

All other fish came to nymphs either fished duo, or under a New Zealand indicator.

Another bitter northerly. Nothing hatching. Managed to winkle one out. Hard going.

Cool with a difficult downstream (NW) breeze, but a bit of sun. No significant hatch or rise. The duo worked to an extent in the riffles, with 5 fish from 12 to 16 inches (all on weighted PTN (16)).

Blanked! Tough conditions - it was cold with a downstream northerly wind, and little hatching. Fishing was slow as a result but I did get a few bites on dries and nymphs, and was a bit unlucky not to land at least one - had three come off the hook. Although two also due to my early season rustiness - stumbled on round stones while wading/ fumbled line with free hand on two, they only needed a split second of slack line and gone!

Over the weekend 27/28 - 3 fresh salmon all around 17lbs. Caught on spinner from Slaughter Crib.
