    It is strange how the fishing can change from consistently good catches to very few but we have seen it before and no doubt will see it again. We had fairly good water levels and temperature conditions this past week plus there were fish about but the fish were certainly switched off for some reason, we had a few fish lost over the week. However we did get off to a good start on Monday morning when Ray Doonan (The Orchy Oracle) managed to land a lovely fresh 4lb grilse in Upper Ferroch, then it was a long wait until Saturday evening when Hamish Allen landed a sea trout of roughly 3lb. 

    Water heights were 3" on Monday, with a wee rise mid week to 10" and finishing at 5" on Saturday. Water temperatures were 58f/64f.

    There is some rain forecast upriver tomorrow so hopefully that will freshen things up a bit for the coming week. 

    Cheers Brian
