Despite excellent water and overhead conditions combined with some of the biggest tides of the year, neither the Private Beat nor Beat One give up a fish. Again, so many people have been commenting on the lack of any trout activity with hatches of flies about during the last week. I am absolutely certain that there will be salmon about but can give no reason why one has not been taken. I predicted at the beginning of the week that we would have a fish but, as my Grandfather used to say " it is not often that I am right , but I am wrong again !!
