Yesterday, just one rod (Daniel Kadlubowski above) went out at about 2.00pm.
He released a couple of grilse around 6.00pm & I joined him at 7.30pm.
Shortly after I landed this 11.8lb salmon for him which is his Personal Best.
I then released a grilse & lost a bigger very fresh fish of ~6lb. All fell to small flies.
Another grilse was caught on the upper river late in the evening making the total 5 for the day.

This was the river below the Lodge @ 08.40 this morning.
Gauge height then was 0.71m and the clarity was ~ 1-1 ½ feet.
At 11.30 it was up further to 0.78m.

This was the rainfall radar picture @ 12.00 today showing further heavy rain
which looks as if it will get into the upper catchment.

Whilst we probably won't get a very big flood, the rain falling in the upper catchment
will help to maintain the level and give the river a good flush out.

There are reports of good numbers of fish moving from the tidal water
up into the main river, so the prospects for sport
are looking superb coming up to the weekend.
In spite of the low water in the last week or so, we have not had a blank day for the last 11 days.
We have caught 24 fish to 11.8lb. for just 43 rod days in the 11 days.
