22nd April 2011

One of the nicest days on the water since the season opened, at least the morning part has been, a East wind started coming up around noon. 

The water is nice and clear and our boat hooked into 6 grilse in a little over 30 minutes.  Most of the fish appear to be centre-river or in the deep holes at the moment although I did take one off the shore yesterday evening.  Saw a few fish being taken by other boats in the pool.

The afternoon was a bit slower, wind came up so cut the fishing short, picked up one grilse had a number of short strikes.  Maybe time to cut back (shorten) on that fly hair. Like this morning other boats on the water have picked up a few.

We had a query re the early salmon run or what is locally referred to as the Rocky Brook Run for this area.  I don't recall 2010 date but it was June 16th. (2007),  June 1st (2008), June 2nd (2009).

The main bright salmon run for past 4 years, June 18th (2010), June 27th (2009), June 19th (2008), June 21st (2007).

Sea run trout, May 8th (2010), May 18th (2009), May 2nd (2008) May 31st (2007).
