A cold damp start to the week with water and air temperatures a good bit below normal for this time of year and a height of over 4ft and rising, peaking late afternoon at 7'7" on the Cairnton gauge and was fairly coloured but things were going to get better and by Tuesday it had dropped to under 5ft and was clearing. Our first Sea Trout of the season was landed by Jim Ferrie in the Lower Ferroch and was 3lb. The Middle Blackhall rods were very unlucky on Tuesday as although connecting with quite a few fish unfortunately none were landed. Wednesday was better again with Alexis Ward landing her first fly caught Salmon in the Lower Ferroch, a lovely 8lb er on a Cascade tube and husband Barry landed a 7lb er in the Middle Ferroch on a Monkey and Andy Ashcroft had a 10lb er from Malt Steep on Middle Blackhall.  On Thursday, first time visitor to the beat, Mark Riley landed a beautiful liced 15lb er in the Middle Ferroch in the morning and managed a 7lb er from Sandy Bay in the afternoon and both on a Black & Green tube. Grahame Reid also had a 10lb fish from Malt Steep over on Middle Blackhall on a Pot Bellied Pig. Friday felt more like May with a bit of warmth and sunshine and maybe a bit bright but Grahame Reid did it again landing a 15lb er from the Malt Steep on Middle Blackhall. Saturday was surprisingly quiet but Ian Anderson saved the day landing a lovely liced 9lb er in the Grey Mare on a Willie Gunn tube.

The week ahead looks fairly dry with broken cloud and sunshine with the chance of a bit of light rain on Thursday and winds from a South to South Easterly direction.

Cairnton is now fully booked until 31st July when we have 1 rod available, and then we have some rods available during August, September and October so please get your bookings in as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
