Another cold week which was more like early April than the start of May. We had heavy rain, hail showers and a relentless north easterly wind blowing but the occasional bit of sunshine also. Monday started off well with Scott Connachan landing a lovely 9lb fish in Invercannie on an Ice Maiden. Tuesday the water had risen 6" with us and coloured up quite a bit from the previous days rain and was very quiet. Wednesday was looking fairly promising with the river dropping and clearing and the odd fish to be seen but surprisingly not an offer all day. Thursday was a bit more like the thing with 3 fish landed, two by first timers to the Dee. Julian Bertie landed a lovely liced 8lber in the Malt Steep on a Ghillie fly from the Cairnton bank and Digby Taylor landed a 10lb licer in the Malt Steep but from the Middle Blackhall bank on a 1" Cascade. David Adams also had a 10lb licer in the Garden Run on a 1 1/4" Willie Gunn. On Friday David Adams had his second, a liced 10lber from Middle Ferroch on a Monkey. Saturday was a great day for Charlie Robertson on Middle Blackhall with him landing 2 long tailed liced fish, one at 15lb in the Malt Steep and the other a 12lber in Floating Bank and both on a Willie Gunn tube. Despite the conditions it turned out to be a good week for us.

This coming week looks to be a good bit warmer than last with sunshine and blustery showers and winds from the South West.

We have rods available on Middle Blackhall between 17th and 29th May at £68.40 per rod per day inc vat. Get in contact with Sarah to book. Cairnton is fully booked now ( the occasional 1 rod available) until second week in August however we now have 2 rods available for 2 days due to a cancellation from overseas clients 25th & 26th June 2021 at the rate of £104.40 per rod per day inc vat so grab the opportunity while you can.

If you were thinking of coming to see us later in the season please do not leave it too late to book as space is becoming limited. All availability can be viewed on our website so please get in contact with Sarah to enquire or book. Also speak to Sarah about Glenbogle, our self catering lodge located overlooking the river on the Middle Blackhall side of the water. Week long stays for friends and family (up to 10 people) are available in September, October and beyond. The lodge can be taken with or without fishing.
