Prospects & General Comments: East winds, bright conditions and low water levels are making any sport difficult, during the evening period the temperature drops like a stone. A couple of small rises of water due to thunder storms but not enough to clear the river bed and what came down was dirty. The salmon fishing remains slow like everywhere else, the salmon numbers are just not there at present. There are fish in the river but they are reluctant to take. The days that are overcast and the wind from the west has proved to be productive with some nice trout and sea trout being caught. The last week of the month is very hot and dry. Quite a few sea trout in the river now, when the full moon subsides with the clear skies it should be good for night fishing. Trout fishing in the daytime is working well with small size flies both wet and dry 18-22 (micro-caddis).
