The small dirty flood of yesterday afternoon didn't significantly affect the level. The clarity on the upper river this morning is however barely a foot, but the level continues to drop..
Clarity is good at 2-3 feet.
The 5 day weather forecast is now dry, so the river should fine off into cracking order over the weekend.
Superb Fishing.
We have had 44 salmon to 14.5lb for 44 rod days in the last week, including the Best Fish of the Season & the (joint) Best Day with 11 fish caught.

Notwithstanding tha fact that there are fewer rods fishing than normal, our catches for the summer so far are well above both the 5 & 10 Year Averages. Both May and June are well above, & the July total to the 19th. is already highr than the 5YA & almost up to the 10YA with 10 days to go.
Stop Press
Just had a report (14.00 Friday) of a fish of 14-15lb. caught on the lower river.
Prospects
The 5 Day weather forecast is dry so the river should fine off well & we can expect superb sport over the weekend & into the coming week.
