The fishing conditions were very hard this past week with mostly bright blue skies and relentless sunshine but occasionally we did see some cloud which gave the rods a bit of a breather. It was certainly cooler in the mornings and evenings with a slight frost on Friday morning. The water temperatures varied from 55f on Monday to 60f on Saturday. We got off to a good start on Monday with an 8lb fish on a small Stoat Tail in the Cottage Run. Tuesday was fairly quiet. On Wednesday, Andy Ashcroft had a 2.5lb seatrout. Thursday we had three seatrout to 3lb. Friday a few fish were seen before the heat of the day got going and Saturday produced two 8lb ers, one from the Upper Salt Vat for Ian Anderson on a small Sunray in bright sunshine and Ewan Maclachlan landed his first Cairnton fish from the Grey Mare on a small JJ and was still carrying lice. This coming week looks to be pretty dry again but winds coming from an easterly direction so hopefully its slightly cooler.
