A very mixed week with the start being quite hard going and just two landed from the Spout on Tuesday at 10lb and 4lb on a Ghillie fly size 14. Although there were fish about and conditions were fairly good we couldn't manage to land anything further until Friday when Susie Hill landed her very first fish in the Grey Mare and was a lovely liced 5lb er on a size 12 Cascade and not to be outdone her husband David also landed a liced 5lb er in the Salt Vats again on a size 12 Cascade. Heavy rain on Friday gave us a good rise in levels and by Saturday it was 3' 8" on the Cairnton gauge and carrying a bit of peat stain but dropping steadily. We finished the week on a good note with 5 being landed on Saturday and the largest at 14lb from the Malt Steep on the Middle Blackhall side. Small Cascade tubes and Orange Pot Bellied Pigs did the trick with a couple being liced and the other 3 being very fresh.

This coming week is looking quite promising with the height at 2' 5" at the moment and light to heavy rain forecast most days up to Thursday with Friday and Saturday looking to be the driest of the week.
