Feedback & Reports

This was a cracking day - good water and weather and produced 42 fish to 4 rods, two thirds of which were grayling [biggest nearly 2lbs [MINE, MINE, MINE!!!!!!]on a black klinkhammer - much sport on dry/emerger stuff and using 'klink and dink'.

5 Barbel on hallibut pellet

Lost one really fresh 6lb Salmon from the top pool. 6 x browns to 1lb

10lbs hen on fly 10.45 am and two nice trout to 1.5lbs also on fly. Water cloudy.

Complete blank and nothing seen and to top it all broke the top section of a brand new DH rod.

River high but only lightly coloured, a few flies hatching till the rain came and the temperature plummeted... Landed 4 at 7" to 10" and missed some. Caught on para adams earlier and GRHE nymph later. All trout in fine fettle, they must like the higher water!

After a six day blank in Norway and several other blanks it was nice to finally get off the mark with a coloured hen fish of about 8lds from just above the big Rock in the Rock Pool. Had another more lively fish on for quite a while and two other pulls all around the same spot.
1st time through the Gravel Catch landed a bright silver Cock fish of approx 12lb, no lice but very fresh, taken from above the power lines.
Throughout my day I must have seen over 30 fish including a tail walking Grilse which would show after I had covered it. Both fish taken on a Red Cascade and safely returned.
A shame to see so few fisherman on the river!

6 Barbel, best fish 9lb 14oz, others all in 4 - 8lb range, 6 Chub, best fish 5lb 5oz, others in 2.5lb to 4lb range, all taken on luncheon meat or strips of beef.

Water 0.81m and clearing. Hooked a 12lb fish below the rock at the back of the trunk on single hook barbless red/gold fc. Fish came off at the net, the intention was to return so no bad thing. No salmon showing and no rising trout despite a few flies around.

A very wet evening but fishing good with fish up to 18inches. Most fish about 11inches.
