Trevor Down was in touch from Screebe to report the first grilse started arriving over the last 2 weeks, with Bruce Kelso catching the first grilse of 6lbs on the 20th June. On the 21st Pat Delapp had a lovely summer salmon of 15.5lbs. Trevor himself had a grilse of 5lbs on the 25th, and followed it up with a 6.5lbs fish on the 29th, caught on an Executioner Cascade . One characteristic of Screebe is that even in low water conditions salmon will still run up through the main lake to the Salmon Pool, so they are not held up long in the estuary.
