Catches.
Today was the Third
Best Day of the Season. Fourteen fish to 11lb. were caught. Seven fell to fly, four
to spinner & three to shrimp. The water is fining off to superb fly order.
Best at 11lb. was taken by Frank Ryan on the lower river & there were more better fish than in previous days with fish of 9, 8 & four 6 pounders caught. One rod landed four on the fly.
We now have 47 fish caught for 42 rod days in the last 3 days.
Prospects.

Absolutely superb as
the river is fining off & there is an excellent run of grilse & larger
salmon. Almost all the fish caught (even on the topmost beats) on our waters were
extremely fresh.

No problem for rods
