Level at 0.68 at Ross. Nice height and plenty of fly water on this beat. Given the good weather it was also busy with walkers and a fair few canoes. My friend had a pull on the fly straight after which an estimated 20lb + salmon leapt clear of the water. I then hooked a c. 15lb salmon on a flying c only for it to thrash at the surface and throw the hook after about 15 secoinds or so. Both contacts in Slaughter crib. Only other action was a 5lb pike and a small brown trout.

Sunny, hot day. A few spring olives hatching but no fish rising. Fished dry fly from 11am to 4pm

Great day weather was warm and sunny. Big hatch off brown caddis all up the river, made fish feed off the surface in only the deep water. Grayling were the only fish of the day, from 8 inches to 14 inches, no trout to be seen.

Maybe not the best fishing conditions today, warm and bright, but still good to get out. 4 trout to 13" and as many lost. Continual hatch of Grannon most of the day with a few ldos and March browns, but fish reluctant to rise in bright conditions. All fish taken early on with weighted caddis pattern.

Bright and sunny day - hot, in early April. No rising fish seen and little in the way of surface fly, but a nymph fished deep worked, with a couple of fish of 12 to 14 inches. River level low and clear.
