    Last week was much better for us from mid week onwards following another good rise and a drop in water temperatures which produced 6 Salmon, 5 Grilse and 1 Sea trout.

    The start of the week looked fairly promising with good enough conditions and a fish or two about and I was surprised we blanked on Monday and Tuesday apart from a 2lb Sea Trout on the latter but that was going to change on Wednesday with heavy rain the previous day. The river was up about 3 1/2ft and the water temperature was down to 48f and we landed 3 fish, with the largest being 10lb by Mark Crampton Smith in the Middle Ferroch. Thursday was a very good day also with 4 landed and the largest being 11lb by Alec Pettigrew in the Malt Steep. Thursday was also a very good day for Edmund Mackay the great great grandson of AHE Wood who was fishing in the Lower Ferroch and landed a very fresh Grilse of 5lb on a Willie Gunn. Friday we had two Grilse and Saturday also produced two Grilse. 

    This coming week looks to be dry at the start of the week with daytime temperatures dropping then rain on Wednesday which should keep the levels topped up a bit.

    We have rods available on Middle Blackhall tomorrow and Tuesday and 2 rods available on Cairnton on Saturday. please check the availability page on our website for further details.

    Cheers Brian

    A good last week of August
