Catches.
Three very fresh grilse were caught today on the lower river including this First Ever Salmon for John Last (UK) on the fly.
103 fish caught so far for July for 192 rod days. 223 for the season to date.
Prospects.
Should be good in the coming days with a small fresh on the river.
I heard of a couple of larger fish caught on other beats, including one fish of ~15lb.
