Comments

The season started off last Monday and it was looking fairly promising with the height at 1' on the Cairnton gauge, the water temperature at 33f and the air temperature not getting much above freezing. Guy Finlayson blessed the water with a dram at the Upper Ferroch to open our 2021 season with the other rods on Cairnton looking on, all socially distanced of course. The rods on both Cairnton & Middle Blackhall covered the water pretty well and I was surprised no fresh fish were landed although we did have a few kelts.

Tuesday was pretty much impossible to fish with grue. On Wednesday the grue cleared about midday and a few kelts were landed and again on Thursday a few kelts were landed. Friday saw a bit of a rise and fairly coloured with snow melt but Saturday was looking better as the colour had gone from the previous day and the water height at 1' 9" was more encouraging and it didn't long for well known angler Charlie Robertson to land Cairntons and Charlies first of 2021, a lovely 8lb er in the Old Garden on a 1 1/2 Black & Yellow tube.

The coming week looks to be very cold overnight from Monday night to Thursday with snow flurries adding to the mix coming from an easterly direction so tomorrow and later in the week looks promising.

We have rods available for local anglers throughout February so please get in touch with Sarah and she will get you booked in. For availability for later in the season please check our website or drop Sarah and email.
