Even with quite

Six came from the upper river.
Prospects.
Prospects.
The river was in fair
spinning order. It was barely flyfishable throughout. It should improve somewhat
tomorrow. It looks as if the rise will pull the multitude of fish waiting in
the tidal reaches into the main river as almost all the fish caught today were
very fresh. If so, fishing should be excellent in the coming days when the
river fines off after this latest flood.

No problem for rods
& accommodation at the moment.
