Prospects.

Conditions are remain absolutely perfect for fly on both the lower & upper river. Fishing has been challenging, but hopefully the break in the weather will improve this with overcast weather & hopefully a rise in the river.
 

Catches.

Just one fish for us in the last week & a half with very few anglers fishing – nobody was out at all in the last 2 days! Just the odd report of fish moving on both the upper & lower river.
