Having fished this river for over 30 years one thing I have learn't is when the water level is right for salmon on the fly and take it from me today and maybe the next 2 days should be perfect! Today the river is 1ft - 2in on the gauge. I remember quite a few times when the water has been at this level and salmon have been caught on the fly. I've had quite a few myself and remember a few years back when I had one in Crewel and then another in the Car Park Pool.
After such a dreadful season of drought I hope a few anglers get some pleasure over the next few days!
