Another week has just ended, what a great group and the fishing was very good too. 120 fish landed with 25 fish over 15 pounds. 2 lovely fish over 20 pounds. Average weight 9 pounds. All in all a great week.
We enjoyed great fishing with floating lines, tubes flies and green machine proved to be the best.
Also intermediate lines with long leaders with an emb nymph worked well.
The river was dropping fast, but still with good height remaining in the lower areas.

David S and John R landed the biggest fish with 20 pounders each.
