A very challenging and changeable week with all conditions sent to test us, heavy rain, thick mist and a howling wind but a couple of lovely spring days thrown in. Water heights started off at 1' 3" & rose to 2' by Tuesday then gradually fell away as the week went on. Water temperatures were in the high 40s to low 50s Fahrenheit.  On the fishing side of things it was a good start to Robert Bramman's season when he landed a 10lb liced fish on a Black & Chatreuse Monkey in the Malt Steep on Tuesday.  There seemed to be a fish or two about at the end of the week but they weren't hanging around too long and were definitely travelling.  

We also heard our first cuckoo of the year yesterday, a lovely tune but not so great for other nesting birds.

Fancy a cast? - contact Sarah to discuss dates & rates. sarah@cairntonestate.co.uk
