Reasonably good conditions this past week with a nice water height most days. We had a rise of 15" on Tuesday giving us a bit of optimism for the following few days. The strong westerly wind did make it difficult on a few days but not impossible. However on the fishing side our week was saved by Derek Wright who managed to land a lovely fresh 6lb er in the Grey Mare on a Silver Stoat tube.

This coming week looks as though there will be some heavy rain tomorrow with the rest of the week mostly dry but the occasional heavy shower floating about.

This past week the conditions were fairly good,  with a water height that suited all the pools, 8" to 9" up to Friday and 11" on Saturday and a water temperature in the mid to low 50's Fahrenheit. Although we did see the very odd fish, they weren't hanging about for long at all. Neil Mitchell did have a couple of offers at the end of the week but they didn't hang on any further so unfortunately we drew a blank for the week. On a different note there is another good run of smolts migrating down river at the moment and very evident every day this week so good luck to them. The week ahead looks to be mainly dry with a bit of rain tomorrow afternoon followed with a mixture of sunshine and cloud. 

As always please check our website for rod availability and get in contact with Sarah to book.

Again another tough week of bright sunshine along with the easterly breeze and morning frosts but we had success with Andy Ashcroft landing a lovely 10lb er in the Grey Mare on Wednesday on a Willie Gunn Flamethrower. On Thursday it was Harry Nicholls turn when he landed a lovely 8lb er again in the Grey Mare on a Cascade. This coming looks like to be fairly mixed with the odd thundery shower which hopefully gives us a wee lift in height.

Well this week was not an easy one if you were an angler, with bright sunshine every day and an east wind/breeze which is always a challenging combination but the river levels were fairly good all week which does keep enthusiasm up among the rods. The week was saved by Jacob Broberg from Sweden landing a lovely 7lb fish from Invercannie on Tuesday on a Usual. We did see an odd fish through the week but they were not keen at all.

This coming week looks as though it will be dry and settled with a bit more cloud about most days but still a bit of those easterly breezes about.

We have a little bit of availability on Cairnton this week so please contact Sarah to book.

A much better week for us with a couple of fish landed. Julian Sterck landed the first one of the week in the Garden Run on Thursday and was 8lb on  a 1 1/4" Willie Gunn tube. The second fish was also 8lb and was landed by John Brink in the Colonel on Saturday on a 1" Wille gunn, this was John's first ever spring fish and was released before a photo could be taken. We also connected with another couple of fish and saw the odd fish splash. Conditions were fairly good all week for us apart from Wednesday when we got a rise of over a foot but nothing to really worry us, most days were overcast with brighter spells but still a cool Easterly breeze. It's also nice to see a bit of greenery coming on the tree's etc again.

The week ahead looks pretty settled with cloud and sunny spells most days and winds swinging about between Easterly and South Wests. 

We have 2 rods available on Cairnton on 27th April and 4 rods available on Cairnton on 29th April. Get in contact with Sarah to book. Booking details on our website. www.cairnton.co.uk/fishing-availability.php

Well it wasn't through the lack of effort this week however the conditions were a bit extreme on a few days but I was very surprised we drew a blank for the week. We had a variety of heights over the week from 1' to over 5' and over head conditions from warm and bright to heavy snow or rain and a few morning frosts so very much April weather. 

For the start of this coming week the river should be a nice height and the forecast looks to be overcast most days. There could be some significant rain on Tuesday with winds coming from an easterly direction but temperatures should be slightly warmer.

We have a little availability at the end of the month so please check our website for full availability throughout the season and get in contact with Sarah to book.

What a week for weather and temperature changes, from bright and warm to start, wintery cold snow/hail showers mid week then finishing with a couple of very pleasant spring like days. On the fishing front we landed 2 for the week with a 9lb liced fish from The Plank on Tuesday on a 1/0 Grey & Green. On Thursday Iain Kirk (pictured) did all the hard work only for the end result to be spoilt with the fish dropping off at the last second. On Saturday Grahame Reid landed a lovely 14lb fish in Glister on a Posh Tosh (picture in net). There were also some short lived hatches of March Brown's and Dark Olives when the air temperature lifted a bit so a sure sign spring is on the way.

This coming week looks fairly changeable with a bit of rain tonight into tomorrow morning then turning showery. Tuesday onwards a chance of some snow and rain with the temperature dropping a bit and the winds coming from a northerly direction.
