    Last week was a little patchier than expected with the good conditions we experienced. Height wise we were at 1'9" and overcast on Monday with the water gradually dropping away as the hot weather returned and the water temperature started hitting the mid 60sf which was going to slow up the daytime fishing and favour the early mornings and evenings as the week went on. However we finished up with 2 salmon and 11 grilse with all of them being liced or lice just off. Brad Collis's party had a few grilse from the Cairnton bank. Steve Kettlewell had the biggest fish at 9lb from Glister on a 12 Cascade and young Lewis Blair kept up his unblemished record landing a few grilse. The fish landed were caught from both banks with Chris Brynes party having a few from Middle Blackhall and pretty much everything using Cascades, Ally Shrimps and Executioners.

    This coming week looks like light cloud and light winds all week with sunny spells and still very warm but maybe an odd bit of drizzle so under the cloud early mornings and evenings will give us the best chance.

    We have some rods available in August, September and October on both Cairnton and Middle Blackhall. All availability is listed on our website along with details on how to book. www.cairnton.co.uk

    Cheers Brian
