Another week of good conditions for fishing. It was overcast most day's with a bit of sunshine and quite a few heavy showers but fairly windy. We had good water heights each day with an odd small rise and the water temperatures were in the low to mid 50f.

On the fishing front Keith McKiernan had our first grilse of the season from Invercannie on Wednesday which was 3lb followed up with a 7lb er from the Rockhead the same day, both on a small Cascade. Mark Riley had a 2lb sea trout from Glister and on Saturday Ian Anderson finished the week off with a lovely 11lb fish in the Glister on a Sunray. We did see an odd fish throughout the beat over the week but they didn't seem to be hanging about for long.

This coming week looks to be showery up to Wednesday then turning a bit drier for the remainder of the week with lighter easterly winds. 

Cheers Brian

Another great week with regards to the river and over head conditions. A few small rises throughout the week kept things ticking over nicely with the water temperature in the low to mid 50f. The first half of the week was quite quiet with not much to be seen but there were a couple of fish lost and we also had our first sea trout of the season with one being landed from either bank on Wednesday, both around the 2lb mark. The second half of the week was certainly more encouraging with the odd decent fish being seen here and there but they weren't keen in showing much interest but full marks to the rods for putting the hours in and sticking at it. However we did manage a fish late on Saturday evening from the Grey Mare, about 14lb on a size 12 Ghillie which saved the week.

This coming week looks quite changeable for the first half with sunny spells and some prolonged heavy showers. Later in the week should be a bit drier with the odd shower and wind picking up.

Reasonably good conditions this past week with a nice water height most days. We had a rise of 15" on Tuesday giving us a bit of optimism for the following few days. The strong westerly wind did make it difficult on a few days but not impossible. However on the fishing side our week was saved by Derek Wright who managed to land a lovely fresh 6lb er in the Grey Mare on a Silver Stoat tube.

This coming week looks as though there will be some heavy rain tomorrow with the rest of the week mostly dry but the occasional heavy shower floating about.

This past week the conditions were fairly good,  with a water height that suited all the pools, 8" to 9" up to Friday and 11" on Saturday and a water temperature in the mid to low 50's Fahrenheit. Although we did see the very odd fish, they weren't hanging about for long at all. Neil Mitchell did have a couple of offers at the end of the week but they didn't hang on any further so unfortunately we drew a blank for the week. On a different note there is another good run of smolts migrating down river at the moment and very evident every day this week so good luck to them. The week ahead looks to be mainly dry with a bit of rain tomorrow afternoon followed with a mixture of sunshine and cloud. 

As always please check our website for rod availability and get in contact with Sarah to book.

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
