Apart from it being quite hard fishing conditions, with a howling gale every day and snow showers to put up with it was another good week for us with 5 fish being landed. It started off well on Monday with John Webb landing two fish, an 8lb er in the morning from the Old Garden and a 6lb er from the Middle Ferroch in the afternoon, both were on a 1 1/2" Gold Willie Gunn. The following few days were pretty quiet with the occasional splash but we did see the odd Sandpiper appearing and Sand Martins arriving so maybe spring isn't too far away now. On Friday Ross Macdonald got a lovely 8lb fish in the Malt Steep on a 3" winged Collie Dog and on Saturday John Webb finished his week off with another fish of 8lb from the Malt Steep on the same Gold Willie Gunn as on Monday. Alan Catney also had a lovely 8lb licer from Invercannie on a very small and lightly dressed Monkey on Saturday  and we also saw our first Swallow of the season.

This coming week looks as though we are still going to have light to moderate winds with cloud and sunny spells most days but mostly dry.

Over the next 2 weeks we have a special offer on rods at Cairnton for £84 per day instead of £120 for those who are able to travel to us, so if you can take advantage of this great deal please get in touch with Sarah who will be able to get you booked in. sarah@cairntonestate.co.uk - 01224 872702.

Also things are coming along extremely well now with the renovation of Glenbogle Lodge, our self catering holiday lodge with it's stunning River Dee view and it really is taking shape. I suspect that it will certainly become a favourite place to stay in the area for either fishing trips or family/friends holidays. If you are looking for a location for a staycation this year for up to 10 people in August, September or beyond please get in touch with Sarah and she will be able to help with any information you may need and quote.
