Some good days.....

Like October, November has proven to be a difficult month so far. Fish remain largely off the take, despite the huge head of fish in the river. Nevertheless, a couple of parties experienced some excellent sport.

Messrs James, Griffith & Badland fished 2-4 November and shared a respectable catch of 11 salmon, including a 22lb and 18lb fish.

Bernard and Philippe, over from France, fished 8 & 9 November and took 6 fish between them.

Some fresh fish are featuring in catches, and good numbers have been running in the high water. The last two weeks of the season should see a good run of the fast running November fish coming in. These are generally large and tend not to hang around the lower/middle river at this time of year. As a consequence they are likely to be fairly fresh.

Below are some of the fish taken by Bernard & Philippe.
