Manager's Comments:
Although we struggled to get hold of the many salmon today the grilse where certainly happy to play, and most of the team managed to get stuck into the them. The water came up 6inches last night and has been rising all day, perhaps another two inches. Hopefully this fresh water will stir up some of the salmon over the next 24hrs.
Peter E and Ian E had a good day on Island, landing six fish between them, all large grilse up to 7lbs apart from one salmon at 13lbs.
The fish caught today have been evenly scattered over all the beats on the river, unlike previous days this week, where we have been seeing that a lot of the fish were being caught on just two or three of the beats per day. But nice to see the fishing slightly mire evenly spread.

Well done to Steven L and Rob W who had five yesterday biggest at 16lbs. A mixture of stoats tails and Red Francis’ used to great success.
Hopefully this rise in water might just tickle up some of the fish and start to move them about.
