This past week the conditions weren't too bad. We had a bit of cloud and a light breeze most mornings which then got quite bright and fiery by the afternoons. The water levels on the Cairnton gauge were at 1ft on Monday and only dropped a few inches by Saturday with water temperatures varying between 56f to 62f.  On Monday we got off to a good start fairly quickly with Stuart Norris landing a lovely liced 10lb er in Glisters on a Sunray.  On Tuesday Stuart did his same trick again, this time in the Upper Salt Vats on the same fly and was a beautiful 9lb er. Wednesday was a bit quiet with only the odd fish seen. On Thursday Douglas Campbell got off to a great start with a 12lb er from the Floating Bank on a small Pot Bellied Pig on his very first cast which goes to show if your names on it you'll get him. Friday and Saturday were looking promising but we drew a blank. Over the course of the week we lost half a dozen fish annoyingly but it looks like the odd Grilse are now coming through as they were seen the last couple of days of the week which is encouraging.

This coming week looks like a bit cooler and fresher with a bit of light rain possible mid week and winds from the South West
