Last week started off with the river still very low and very warm and not looking very promising but that was going to change with torrential rain on Tuesday night into Wednesday resulting in the river starting to rise and by 7pm was just under 4ft on Cairntons gauge and running quite coloured. By Thursday the river had settled down to 2' 6" and carrying a bit of peat stain making the last 3 days of July a memorable one for Julian Bertie's party with them landing 3 Salmon and 11 Grilse and a fair few lost also but Julian started it off with a lovely 5lb grilse from the Malt Steep. Ally's shrimps, Cascades and Flamethrowers were doing the trick but Nathaniel Jani landed a fresh 4lb grilse on his favourite fly the Junction Shrimp. Digby Taylor had the largest for the week from Glister at 14lb on Saturday and Sam Fox not only landed his first Salmon of his fishing career on Friday, he then went on to land a further 3 the same day with 2 grilse from the Middle Ferroch, 1 from Floating bank and his 4th from Kelpie. Jack Taylor had his personal best at 11lb from the Grey Mare. A fantastic effort all round.

This coming week looks fairly settled with some patchy light rain showers, some cloud with sunny spells.

We have some rods available in August, September and October so please check our availability page on the Cairnton website and then get in touch with Sarah to book.
