Run of Fish: 

Not many seen but a number caught on some of the other beats.

We didn't land a fish yesterday but I heard of half a dozen fresh grilse caught - four opposite one of our beats & two lower down the river.

Methods:   

OK for all mthods at the moment - albeit at a low level.

Prospects: 
Hopefully the rise in water coming this time from the top of the river combined with the high tides will encourage more fish to move up from the tidal waters & even head for the upper beats.

Availability
OK for fishing & accommodation for the coming weeks.
