A lovely week for fishing with near perfect water conditions and a fish or two being seen most days but it was Friday before we had any success with Norwegian angler Chriss Beitveit who was part of Roald Meyer's fishing party that finally managed to land a lovely 7lb er in Sandy Bay. On Saturday, Chriss did it again with another 7lb er in the Malt Steep with both fish being caught on very flashy tube partners which he had found on the river bank at home and maintains he always has plenty of luck with flies he finds. A few other fish were also on and off for the party for their visit.

The coming week looks to be a bit mixed with some cloudy/brighter days and a chance of rain from Tuesday to Thursday and air temperature feeling slightly warmer.

We have some rods available over the month of April so please contact Sarah directly to book. 

Cheers Brian

Quite unsettled weather and water this past week with a fair mix of heavy showers, some lovely days and some wind, especially on Wednesday which did add some problems. We also had a couple of rises in water on Wednesday and Friday which didn’t do any favours but we did manage 4 fish for the week which I was fairly happy with. Two from the Cairnton bank and two from Middle Blackhall bank with Monkeys and Willie Gunns doing the trick & all 7 to 9lb. Catch of the week goes to Norwegian visitor Shjalg Lund part of Knut Bjoernsen's fishing party who were all good anglers but Shjalg showed it’s never too late with a fish on his very last cast on Saturday evening in the Middle Ferroch. A great finish to the week.

The week ahead is looking to be slightly lower temperatures, mostly dry days with some showers about. The winds coming from a westerly direction, swinging into more southerly mid week and from the North towards the end of the week.

After last weekend's milder spell, melting snow and rain mixed in, it wasn't a surprise for us to see the levels rising on Monday which was needed. It peaked at just under 5ft and was running pretty coloured by the afternoon.  By Tuesday morning the river was back down a couple of feet and was looking pretty good for a fish or two and although we did see an odd splash only kelts were landed. The following few days were looking really promising, even with another small rise in levels from Thursday into Friday and it was looking like a blank week was on the cards but on Saturday it was Mark Blair that saved the week with a lovely fresh fish of 14lb from the tail of kelpie on a cascade tube. It was good to see Mark getting one as it's normally his son Lewis that gets a fish. The week ahead looks cloudy with rain on and off the first few days with any winds coming from a south to South westerly direction .

A really cold wintery week compared to what we have had this season so far with a mixture of snow and some lovely sunny days, below freezing air temperatures and water temperatures dropping down to 32 Fahrenheit to give us a the first grue of the year making fishing slightly problematic but not impossible.  Back to the fishing and although all the tickly bits were covered each day it was well known angler Ken Reid who saved our week and managed to get our first fish for March with a lovely 9lb er from the Malt Steep on Friday and was on a Black & yellow skullhead. 

Today was much milder with the snow getting a good shift so with any luck will give us a bit of extra water.  It is going to turn colder again from tonight onwards with some snow and northerly winds for the rest of the week.

Another lovely week for fishing with reasonably good water and overhead conditions but we had to settle for a blank on the catches, although we did have a couple of fish lost that I wouldn't like to say either way if were fresh or kelts. We did have a few kelts this week and there are still the odd one or two about which isn't a bad thing for maybe slowing up a fresh fish. Catches over all should pick up a bit now as we are into March.

This coming week looks fairly cold with northerly winds and a chance of snow and winter showers and some brighter spells.

The last week of February and you could have been mistaken thinking the season was a bit further on as most days were fairly mild with a mix of cloudy sunny days, some showers and lovely fishing conditions. Although we did land a few kelts no fresh fish were landed this week but a couple of fish were seen towards the end of the week and it would be nice to finish the month on a good note.

The week ahead looks to be mostly dry with some showers and winds from a northerly direction.

A bit quieter for us this week although fishing conditions were really good due to the unusual mild weather for February. Friday did pose a few problems when storm Otto brought some havoc across the country but by mid afternoon it had turned out to be quite pleasant. A few more kelts appeared and a genuine fresh fish hooked but unfortunately lost. 

Next week looks to be mild for this time of year, mostly overcast, a chance of some rain with winds from a westerly direction.
