Run of Fish: 

Very few fish seen today.
                        
Catches:  

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

Methods:   

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

Prospects: 
Hopefully the continuing 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.
