This past week saw the very cold snap continue with night temperatures well below zero, daytime temperatures barely getting above freezing and grue and ice hampering us most of the week but by comparison, in the Cairnton records, in 1947 there was no fishing as the river was frozen until the 24th March. However back to this season and the week started off very well with Sean Rennie landing his first fish of the season in the Old Garden on a 1 1/2" Black & Yellow tube and was about 6lb. Tuesday to Friday was a bit of a non event with grue and sub zero conditions but on Friday night the mercury did not dip as low so Saturday was quite fishable as long as you were careful around the waters edge ice. The rods fished it very well in the conditions and landed a few kelts for their day.

This coming week looks like a promising change on the way with higher air temperatures and rain mixed in so no more grue, plus a lift in water should be on the cards.

For all enquiries for fishing and accommodation this season please get in contact with Sarah.
