Note that the river has been lightly fished in recent years with very few weeks seeing all 4 beats fished and many beats fished by just one or two rods. Also note that almost all fish before the end of June are very large fresh-run MSW salmon up to 30lbs and fish after this date are a mix of 4-6lbs grilse and larger summer salmon up to 20lbs. Fishing starts in earnest in mid May and ends at the end of 1st week in October.
