This past week started off at minus 3" on the Cairnton  gauge and our expectations were fairly high from the end of the previous weeks catches, however the fish were a bit dour with one on Tuesday at 9lb for John Thornley on an Usk Grub and a couple on Wednesday which was fairly wet and gave us a few feet of a rise which we were wanting but Thursday was surprisingly quiet with one fish of 8lb in the Middle Ferroch for Gary Lloyd on a Willie Gunn. Friday saw a lovely water height with a few fish showing here and there but we couldn't get an offer, then Saturday we had a couple of older grilse which were caught in far from ideal conditions as it was hosing down all day and this was going to give us another good lift today in the shape of an extra unneeded 9ft of water, so no more needed between now and the end of season.

The week ahead is looking fairly unsettled and cooler but if levels continue dropping the way they are at the moment we should still get one or two this week.

If you would still like to get out while you can before the season closes we have some availability. Please check the website for the latest and contact Sarah to book. www.cairnton.co.uk/fishing-availability.
