Catches:  

Joint Third Best Day of Season on Wednesday 20^th. August.  
Four grilse caught. Two on fly & two on worms. All released.
Thirteen fish caught in the last six days for just 31 rod days
which is remarkable given the low water conditions.

                           Didier Faye's first fish released on the fly.

                                Didier Faye's second fish on fly.

Methods:   

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

Prospects: 
Fish seem to be coming on the take better than before, & it is very encouraging
to see fish starting to be taken on the fly.

Availability: 
Is OK for both B&B accommodation & fishing for the coming weeks.
Self-catering is filling up for September.
