comment:
Had a very wet Friday morning, which brought the river up to almost 3ft, it was very peaty and frothy yesterday, that's probably why we didn't catch anything, saw a few, so prospects better for next week.
We had two new boys to salmon fishing for the last three days. While fishing the Spout, just before lunch, I saw a grilse lying at the bottom of the pool, I told him to try for it, the first time the fly went past the fish moved away but came back, the next time a perfect surface take, it was a 3lb grilse, well done Rob, His brother Geordie was not so fortunate, he tried very hard fishing late into Saturday night,but no luck, better luck the next time. Its great to see young people taking up salmon fishing.
I am on holiday for the next two weeks, no where exciting, putting a new roof on my house, normally I am wanting rain, but I hope it doesn't rain for a while.
Might not be a report for the next two weeks.

Still a few grilse running, sea trout a bit of a disaster this year.
We caught a 12lb hen fish (slightly coloured) in the Cottage pool, put up a good fight, well done Dod.
The river level is dropping and the temperature is rising, not much sign of a change in the weather, but as long as a few fresh fish are running we have a chance.
Been very warm during the day,(lost a few lbs strimming) hopefully it will stop the grass growing.

At last the grilse look to be entering the river, later than usual, looks as if the season is heading the same as last year.
Very few sea trout, one of the few or only caught in this area wasn't caught by an angler, but the osprey, unfortunately I didn't witness it, one up to the osprey.
The weather has turned a lot colder, north wind and heavy showers, forecast a bit warmer next week.

Hope everybody spotted the deliberate mistake last week, two grilse short on the total, must have had to much to drink , or not enough on Saturday evening, sorry for the confusion.
Had a very wet day on Thursday, river rose to almost 4ft, but turned very peaty, no sign of fish running, when it clears up should be better. The wind went round to the north and turned very cold, kept the midges away.

Fisher did well for the conditions, very sunny some days, we had a small rise in mid week but it has dropped back by the weekend. Got two grilse yesterday both covered in sea lice, the fisher says he has never seen such long tails on the lice, glad to see a few fish still running in low water.
Sea trout very disappointing, nowhere catching a lot, getting a bit late for them this season.

We had a good rise of water level at the beginning of the week, it was a bit peaty for a few days, but the grilse and sea trout have not arrived in any big numbers yet, similar to last year, time will tell.
Our fishers were very sure footed this week, despite one being in his eighties, he managed to get both sea trout, well done Doug.

At last we are getting some rain, very heavy this morning, so should get a rise in water level, it also has turned colder.
Still not a lot of fish showing, the odd one or two creeping through, same cant be said about the midges, they have had a good breeding season.
One of our fishers this week must have been practicing for a diving competition, first forward then backwards, he had dropped his wife's wadding stick, but managed to retrieve it, sorry for laughing Johnnie.

Salmon are still running, and not showing even in low water, most of the fish we caught last week were sea liced. Sea trout still not arrived.
No word of a lot of rain in the near future, has turned a lot colder the last few days.
Very sad news about Rune Berger, he will be sadly missed at Cairnton.

The weather forecast was for a lot of rain on Tuesday, but it didn't really happen, the river just rose a few ins, disappointing.
The fisher tried hard, even fishing late and being eaten alive by midges, still they went home with a nice suntan.
On Thursday afternoon the wind got up a bit and one of the fishers caught the back of his hand, both barbs well embedded, but he was very brave when I pulled it out, not even a whimper from Alan.

We had a small rise in the water level, fish still running straight through.
The first fish was caught in the Upper Ferroch, 13lbs the fisher was on her own, but she managed, well done Auntie Oggy.
The second fish 9lbs was caught in the Rock Heads, and it was the most exciting fish he had ever caught, I thought it was going down the rapids a few times, well done Mike.
Otter's seen on three evenings, twice in Invercannie and once in the Colonel.

All the fish we caught last week were sealiced, mostly long tailed lice.
One fisher on his first visit to Cairnton got two salmon, one in Invercannie, the other Upper Salt Vat, well done Doug.
Upper reaches doing well just now, not many stopping in the middle stretch.

Good to see upper reaches getting fish, most of the fish we caught had sea lice on them. The fish are not showing as they pass us, I had a ghillie from Lower Drum fishing on Friday, and he said the same, fish not showing, he managed to get two fish, well done Shane.
The water level is gradually dropping, most of the snow must be gone. It has turned a bit colder, so that might slow the fish down, hopefully.

Fantastic weather this week, all the fishers went home with a nice suntan.
More fish running, small pods going through, but they are not stopping with us.
Water temp went up to 58 degrees during the day, down to very small flies. no 14. First sea trout of the season, well done Clive.

Good water levels all week, some rain in the hills, one of the fishers was skiing on the Cairngorms before he came fishing, snow was a bit wet he said.
Still not seeing many fish, and they seem to be running straight through.

Still not a lot of fish showing, some in the Malt Steep and Mid Ferroch area's. Got one on a Blue Charm in the Grey Mare, A H E Wood would have been impressed, well done Paul.

We had an east wind for most of the week, making casting and catching fish hard work (and cold for the ghillie) we also had quite a few frosts in early mornings.
The weather will hopefully warm up this week, and as there is a lot of snow on the hills we should see a rise in water level, and temp.

A week of very good river levels, the weather has been changeable, snow, rain and some sun still a bit cold but what we would expect in April.
One of our fishers who has fished with us for many years caught his heaviest salmon ever, he must have caught quite a lot in his lifetime, well done John.
The boot was on the other foot yesterday, I normally laugh when somebody falls in, but when i was landing a fish in Russell I over balanced and jumped in, much to the delight of fishers on both banks.
Hopefully the weather will warm up this week.

Another very hard week for fishing, at least the weather during the first five days was execptional, even had a fisher sun bathing, celebrating catching his fish, well done Stiener. Water temp got up to 48 degrees on Thursday.

I don't need to tell you the fishers had a difficult week, very few fish showing, they caught 4 kelts (spelts as one of them called them, at first he thought he had caught a springer, but looking at the photo it was a kelt).
They had to endure blizzards,wind, rain and freezing rings, one had toothache and another lost a days fishing due to flu, so if anyone deserved a springer they did.
There is quite a lot of snow on the hills, so that should help river levels in the weeks to come.

A week of changing weather, from sunny to white out blizzards, and from no wind to gales.
Still not a lot of fish showing, we caught a lovely sealiced springer today, well done Martin, who also lost one yesterday and that was the only contacts for the week.
The only other excitement this week, one of our fishers waded all the way down the Grey Mare, only to fall in as she was getting out, her hat was the only dry piece of clothing, poor Wendy.(ha ha)

The week started of wet and very windy,I was amazed we didn't have a very big river on Tuesday, hopefully the rain fell as snow on the hills, by the end of the week the weather had turned a lot better, frosty in the morning, but lovely sunshine during the day. Forecast colder next week.
Still seeing very few fish, hard work for the fishers. We caught two kelts yesterday.

At last we caught a springer, it has been so long since I have seen one I thought for a start it was a kelt, but thankfully it wasn't, well done Peter.
We have had good water levels this week, the river rose to about 6ft last night, but is dropping back just now. We have had a lot of wind this week, but the fishers coped well. Forecast not very good for start of next week more gales.

I could almost write the same report as last week, the only difference we didn't get a kelt. Very few fish showing, the weather was fine apart from the wind, which reached gale force at times.
One of the fishers even shaved most of his beard off, but no difference, I persuaded them to go and buy ties, very smart but still no difference.
Even the Welsh Wizard could not make contact, he fished with us for just over a day.
The oyster catcher's have arrived, a bit late.

Yet another disappointing week, we had a change in the weather which brought a rise in the river level. We saw a few more fish moving, but they were not very cooperative. The fisher tried all sorts of flies, apart from one kelt they had a hard weeks fishing, but they enjoyed themselves and were very good for the local economy ???.
We saw the first grey wagtail of the year.

Had a good week's fishing despite the river level being very unsteady, ranging from 2ft 7ins to over 7ft.
Most of the fish were fresh, some with sea lice.
The weather looks to be settled just now, I think a lot of the must have gone as it has been mild with a south westerly wind.
Still a lot of big fish caught downstream, even one estimated at 42lbs, they are on their way up.

Happy New Year to one and all.
The 2008 season has not off to a very good start weatherwise, rain, sleat, snow and wind on the opening day, and lots of grue the second day got fishing about 2.30pm, milder today, and raining.
Our total catch is 6 kelts

We are still seeing a lot of resident fish. The river as a whole is fishing very well. We didn't get a very big rise last week end, about 2ft, but it has dropped back quickly all week.
We caught our 150th salmon this week, hope you enjoy your champayne Peter.
We also have been seeing a lot of the kingfishers. Up to this year I have only ever seen them twice in my life.

We are still seeing enough fish to keep the enthusiasm up, but they are proving very very dificult to catch. The two fish caught this week were by people who had never caught a salmon before, well done Kate and Billy.
The river keeps dropping, but it has been raining quite hard today so lets hope we get a reasonable rise.
I heard the fish were starting to build up at the bottom, so a rise might move them upstream.

Still seeing a lot of fish, but they have gone off the take. Some fish still running as the grilse we caught yesterday had long tailed sealice, it was caught by a retired ghillie, well done Fred.
As I mentioned last week, August was indeed a record for Cairnton. The previous best was 17 salmon and grilse, and this year we had 67(21 salmon and 46 grilse), let's hope it continues through Sept.

August keeps producing some fish, it could be heading for a record August for Cairnton, will have to look back the old records.
We are still seeing fish running, we are begining to get some resident fish in the pools which is good news, there has been a shortage of them this year.
We had the great, great, granddaughter of A.H.E.Wood fishing on Wednesday, she kept up the family tradition by catching a 5lb grilse in the Upper Ferroch, well done Sarah.

This is two weeks totals, glad to have a run of grilse and salmon. Quite a few big fish being caught lower down.

A good run of fish mid week mostly grilse, still a few showing, but not taking today.
We had a very good day on Thursday, 12 fish, just like the good old days. Could do with a few more days like that.
Going on holiday for a fortnight, website probably wont be updated.

Most of the fish we caught had sealice.
The new laird of Cairnton caught his his first Cairnton salmon, a lovely 4lb sealiced grilse in the Mid Ferroch, he also got a 3lb seatrout, I bet his wife and family were proud of him. Well done.

Looks as if some fish has entered the river system, getting more downstream.
The river has dropped all week and cleaned up, although the temp has dropped, not summer conditions.
We had a fisher this week who has a reputation for breaking rods,(good for the local rod repair man E.Gardyne.) true to form it happened again, we taped it up and he fished for a few hours,eventually he caught a 10lbs salmon in the Mid Ferroch and sure enough the tip broke again, after a bit of a struggle with a rod in two pieces he landed it, well done Maj.
I caught a nice sea trout in the Mill Pool this week, it measured 23ins, 5lbs approx. big for the Dee, I wish I had taken my camera.

The river was running very peaty for the first half of the week, it was back to being gin clear on Friday, but on Friday evening we had a lot of rain, and the river rose from 1ft 6ins on Friday to almost 6ft on Saturday lunch time, it dropped quite quick, and by evening it was back to 4ft 3ins.
After fishing all week the two fishers managed to land a salmon and sea trout between them in the Grey Mare on Saturday night, well done John and Denis.

We had a lot of thundery weather this week, which made the river levels go up and down.
On Friday night the river was rising and very peaty coloured, but one fisher who had been coming for nine years managed to catch his first Cairnton salmon in the Grey Mare, a beautiful sealiced 11.5 lbs pounder, he had caught grilse and sea trout before. Well done John.
Still not seeing a lot of fish, when it cleans up, they might start showing.

We had good water levels this week, but it was quite coloured some days. There even was some snow on the tops of the mountains, so much for global warming.
We got our first grilse, a lovely sea liced one in the Grey Mare, still not a lot of grilse running yet. The sea trout we got weighed 3 lbs, caught in the Colonel , well done Barrie.
There was a lot rain last night, the river will probably rise today, or at least stay at a good level.

It has rained for the last 24 hrs, a severe weather warning for this area for the rest of the day. The river rose to 7 ft last night and is falling just now, but I think it could easily rise again.
On Thursday evening there was a thunder storm at Braemar, and by lunchtime Friday the river was so dirty it was unfishable, cleared out a few hours later.
The fishing party left on Saturday afternoon, as the river had risen and was very coloured, they were fishless for the week.
A fisher came on Sat.evening and caught the only sea trout of the week, well done Graham.
Only one ducking this week.

Been a changeable week weatherwise, we even had frost one morning. One of the sea trout recorded was from last week, still no sign of the grilse, it has been raining for the last 24hrs, not very heavy, but the river has risen a little, we could have done with some of the rain they had in the north of England.

Still no sign of the grilse run yet, seem's to be sea trout running. The sea trout are in very good condition, we had one of 4lbs out of Invercannie, well done Graham. Only one person had a ducking this week.
We had a very sudden rise in water on Friday, at 8.50 it was 8ins and 30mins later it was 2ft 3ins, heavy thunder storms in the hills, it also turned very peaty.

We had a good rise mid week, the river came up to 5ft after two days of rain, it turned very coloured, by the end of the week it was running clean. Still not seeing many fish, they must be keeping their heads down, they are still catching fish upstream.

After the good rise last weekend, the river has dropped every day since, forecast is for some rain today. It has turned a lot colder, speaking about snow on the high ground. The new Laird got his first fish at Cairnton, a 2lb sea trout in the Grey Mare, lets hope it is the first of many.

Yet another disappoining week, both fish we caught were very fresh. A few sea trout being caught downstream of us, not a lot of salmon running. There must have been some rain up in the hills on Friday, as the river was at 10ins at 6pm Saturday and by 8.30 pm it was nearly 3ft, fingers crossed for a good run. The terns arrived on Thursday.

We got a rise in water level on Thursday evening, but it dropped back quite fast and turned very peaty, the temp has also dropped. The river rose last night to about 2ft 10ins, dropping now. The salmon we got was covered with long tailed sea lice, lets hope it brought a load of mates, a few more sea trout being caught,in the river.
Not so many people fell in this week, just two.

Still no sign of rain, forecast was for rain today, but it hasnt arrived yet, very windy. We got our first sea trout, the fisher was very pleased, he has been here a few times and has finally got his name in the records book, well done. Salmon very few and far between, it's just a case of being in the right place at the right time.

We had a 2ft rise in the water level mid week, but not many fish seem to have come in. We caught one salmon in the Mid Ferroch, lots of sea lice on it, I heard a sea liced fish was caught at Invercauld, must have been swimming very fast.
The river temperature has climbed up, so three fishers, (who shall be nameless) decided to have a swim, all in the Grey Mare, fortunately non of them hurt themselves, just their pride.

After seeing a lot of fish last week, this week we saw very few, the beats higher up are catching a few. We haven't had any rain for about three weeks, but it is raining just now, hope it is wet in the hills. It also turned very cold mid week, a big change from the previous week. Swallows and sand martins arrived, hope they were able to catch some flies.

Hope you spotted the deliberate mistake last week, we only had 1 salmon not 28. Conditions were good this week, a lot warmer than last week, with the river rising most nights with melting snow, but most of the snow must be gone now. We are still seeing the odd kelt, one of the fishers caught 2 yesterday.

Monday started with a big river 5ft 9ins, and got even bigger on Tuesday, rose almost to 9ft, but the rest off the week the river was at a good height, disappointing we didnt get any fish the last three days, it wasnt for lack of fishing effort by the fishers from Denmark.

At last some good news, the four fishers from Sweden had some success, one had 4, one had 2 and the others had 1 each, plus they had a few kelts. The fish ranged from 6lbs to 21.5lbs, a few had sea lice. Fish are being caught lower down the river.

Conditions not ideal for fishing, frosty the first half of week with grue one morning it went by 11:00. Snow second half, with Saturday being very unpleasant, strong SE wind with rain, sleat and snow. The fishers deserved some reward for their effort.
We had about 10 kelts, they have gone quiet as well.
It started raining last nignt, still raining today, should get a bit of a rise in water and temp.

Very poor for the final week, even more disappointment for the present owners to finish up with a blank week on their last weeks fishing as owners of Cairnton. Also sad for my family, the end of working for the Mitchell family, we have worked for them for 57yrs. , between my father and me.
Now, looking forward to working for the new owners, hopefully seeing all the regular fishers in the coming year.
All the best,
Dave.

Been another slow week for the fishers, very few fish showing, but with a good rise in water level, lets hope it brings lots of fish, and cleans the river bed of all the slime and weeds. Rumours of fish lying off the coast, this rise might be what they have been waiting for.

One fisher who has been fly fishing for salmon for 13yrs (3yrs at Cairnton), got his reward this week, 1 salmon and 2 grilse, he had caught some kelts before, well done Paul, hope its not so long before you catch your one.

The fish still seem to be unwilling to run past Banchory. The river level has been good this week, on the high side a few days, but not a lot to be seen. Most of the kelts have gone now.

The week started of well, 2 fish by mid morning, then the weather turned cold, with more snow. The river has started to rise today, so prospects look brighter for next week.

Very slow week again, fish being caught below us, so it could be better this week. Still no signs of warmer weather, have had cold winds for a few weeks.

Very disappointing week, the fishers tried very hard for little reward, not a lot of fish showing, just got rid of one lot of snow and we have about 3ins of new and it is still snowing.

Grue and ice most mornings, about 14ins snow fell last week, very hard walking on the river banks. No fresh fish, around ten kelts. Lets hope for some warmer weather.

A very disappointing week, river levels good for this time of the year, not a lot of springers about. Our fishers fished hard all week for four kelts, but that's salmon fishing.

River rose about 3ft on Tuesday night, hoped it would bring in some springers, but they haven't appearead yet.

River rose mid week, then dropped, the temp also dropped, no grue this week. We caught our first springer, and also lost one plus we had 26 kelts.

Lots of grue, so very little fishing done. Caught three kelts.
