24th June 2008

Cloudy day, water good but remains dark.
Pool fished for short time early morning, around 07:45 hr. started seeing very small grilse running through hugging the shore on both sides of the river, (1) 23" grilse taken on Taylor Special with glitter tag.

The mouth of the salmon is very soft at this time of year so unless they are hooked in the jawbone there is a good chance the hook will pop out on slack line or when netting. So if you are alone and heading the canoe for shore, keep good tension on the line, either directly or use a nice little trick of letting out enough line so the current applies tension and does the work for you.
