Today we had our best day of the season by far with 23 fished hooked and 15 making it to the bank.

It was a great day for all anglers from the most experienced fishers, to the novice anglers landing their first Blackwater Salmon.

Every beat produced fish from top to bottom with the biggest of fish being 14lbs and a lot of grilse being met.

The water clarity is a good 3.5ft and ideal conditions for both fly and spin.

Forecast for Thursday through to Monday is giving heavy showers so we can be sure to see fluctuations within the water level.

Guides Advice

Apache Shrimp, Brollies Gold and most Shrimp patterns are proving most successful. Also it is advisable to have various density poly tips for changes in water pressure in pools throughout our beats. A good indication for your day’s fishing (If it’s not working change it).

Spinning the Black & Gold/Copper Flying C is proving most successful but it is always hard not to have a Rapala in your tackle box.

For anglers that practice C&R it is also advisable to fish with barbless hooks , especially if spin fishing and more so at this time of year as Salmon tend to swallow the spinners deeper.

Tight lines to you all , and we hope to see you on the river soon.
