Again another tough week of bright sunshine along with the easterly breeze and morning frosts but we had success with Andy Ashcroft landing a lovely 10lb er in the Grey Mare on Wednesday on a Willie Gunn Flamethrower. On Thursday it was Harry Nicholls turn when he landed a lovely 8lb er again in the Grey Mare on a Cascade. This coming looks like to be fairly mixed with the odd thundery shower which hopefully gives us a wee lift in height.

Well this week was not an easy one if you were an angler, with bright sunshine every day and an east wind/breeze which is always a challenging combination but the river levels were fairly good all week which does keep enthusiasm up among the rods. The week was saved by Jacob Broberg from Sweden landing a lovely 7lb fish from Invercannie on Tuesday on a Usual. We did see an odd fish through the week but they were not keen at all.

This coming week looks as though it will be dry and settled with a bit more cloud about most days but still a bit of those easterly breezes about.

We have a little bit of availability on Cairnton this week so please contact Sarah to book.

A much better week for us with a couple of fish landed. Julian Sterck landed the first one of the week in the Garden Run on Thursday and was 8lb on  a 1 1/4" Willie Gunn tube. The second fish was also 8lb and was landed by John Brink in the Colonel on Saturday on a 1" Wille gunn, this was John's first ever spring fish and was released before a photo could be taken. We also connected with another couple of fish and saw the odd fish splash. Conditions were fairly good all week for us apart from Wednesday when we got a rise of over a foot but nothing to really worry us, most days were overcast with brighter spells but still a cool Easterly breeze. It's also nice to see a bit of greenery coming on the tree's etc again.

The week ahead looks pretty settled with cloud and sunny spells most days and winds swinging about between Easterly and South Wests. 

We have 2 rods available on Cairnton on 27th April and 4 rods available on Cairnton on 29th April. Get in contact with Sarah to book. Booking details on our website. www.cairnton.co.uk/fishing-availability.php

Well it wasn't through the lack of effort this week however the conditions were a bit extreme on a few days but I was very surprised we drew a blank for the week. We had a variety of heights over the week from 1' to over 5' and over head conditions from warm and bright to heavy snow or rain and a few morning frosts so very much April weather. 

For the start of this coming week the river should be a nice height and the forecast looks to be overcast most days. There could be some significant rain on Tuesday with winds coming from an easterly direction but temperatures should be slightly warmer.

We have a little availability at the end of the month so please check our website for full availability throughout the season and get in contact with Sarah to book.

What a week for weather and temperature changes, from bright and warm to start, wintery cold snow/hail showers mid week then finishing with a couple of very pleasant spring like days. On the fishing front we landed 2 for the week with a 9lb liced fish from The Plank on Tuesday on a 1/0 Grey & Green. On Thursday Iain Kirk (pictured) did all the hard work only for the end result to be spoilt with the fish dropping off at the last second. On Saturday Grahame Reid landed a lovely 14lb fish in Glister on a Posh Tosh (picture in net). There were also some short lived hatches of March Brown's and Dark Olives when the air temperature lifted a bit so a sure sign spring is on the way.

This coming week looks fairly changeable with a bit of rain tonight into tomorrow morning then turning showery. Tuesday onwards a chance of some snow and rain with the temperature dropping a bit and the winds coming from a northerly direction.

Last week was a bit hard going on the fishing front for us with a couple of fish connected with and lost up until Friday evening. With really good water levels all week and some beautiful early spring weather it was looking like we were heading for a blank week however on Saturday morning Jon Nørstad Flotve who was part of a large Norwegian fishing party headed by Roald Meyer hooked and landed a lovely 8lb er in the Middle Ferroch on a Sunray variant of his own tying and thankfully saved the blank week. Incidentally there were a few others hooked and lost on Saturday also.

The week a head looks as though tomorrow will be the nicest and from Tuesday onwards turning colder with winds from a Northerly direction.

A quiet start to the week considering the lovely fishing conditions that we had for the first three days. The last half of the week was much better and especially for Johnathan Lane who landed a 19lb fish in the Malt Steep on Thursday afternoon on a 1 1/2" Gold Willie Gunn. On Friday Johnathan was on form again with a 7lb er from the Upper Ferroch on the same fly while over on the Middle Blackall side John Webb landed his 4th fish of the season with us from Cairnton pool on his usual 1 1/4" G,W,G. and was about 7.5lb and liced. Saturday was near perfect conditions with a couple of fish seen but nothing to report.

Conditions for this coming week look pretty good. 

Some rods available over the next few weeks so check our website for availability.
