Well we got a good rise in levels last Monday with the Cairnton gauge reading 1/2" at 7am and by end of play was running at 5' and very coloured which is really what we were needing for the catches to improve. The water temperatures gradually fell away also. Although we did land 2 salmon, 2 grilse and 2 sea trout for the week I was surprised we did not do slightly better as the conditions were pretty good for the rest of the week and there were enough fish showing to keep everyone interested. The highlight of the week was Steven Goodchild landing an 11lb er in the Grey Mare on a size 8 Tosh variant. Steven has landed plenty of Dee Salmon over the years but this was his first from Cairnton. Other fish and sea trout were landed on Francis patterns and Sunrays.

Weather for the week ahead looks fairly dry most days with heavy rain on Tuesday and winds from a south west direction. We have some Middle Blackhall rods available 8th to 14th October and 4 rods available on 12th October on Cairnton so please contact Sarah to book. sarah@cairntonestate.co.uk
