Manager’s Comments:

The order of the day was protection from biting insects! Even though the wind was blowing, the heat today encouraged the insects to feast. As manager’s we recommend a daily dose of antihistamine, liberal applications of repellent and a head net for just the rare occasion. These precautions usually ensure that insects are not a problem.

The fishing was good despite the very bright sun, again stories of a couple of big fish being lost. There are noticeably more grilse in the book today all very fresh spread across all the beats.

Looking at the weather forecast it will be sunny and warm again tomorrow then cooling down again, hopefully.
