This was a slow week for Kim Michelson & his two friends Peter & Par, who have travelled from Denmark. 

Monday we started off well with 2 grilse & a fresh 7lb salmon. 

Peter landed a fish within the first 5 minutes, a 4lb grilse from the old garden & also got a 3lb sea trout. 

Par had a lovely fresh salmon & a grilse from the top of grey mare. 

The fish were caught on size 14 & 10 blue charm. 

Kim unfortunately lost a few throughout the week. 

On Thursday at Middle Blackhall Alan Greig was fishing for the day and landed a 4lb grilse from salt vats, stripping a sun-ray shadow across the top.

Hopefully we get some water soon.

This was an extremely hard week due to low water.  

We only managed 1 grilse 5lb from the Canary pool. 

The fish was fooled by a size 14 pot belly cascade, 8lb nylon with a stoats tail on the dropper. We also hooked a few more up & down the beat in the fast oxygenated water  but unfortunately the fish outsmarted the angler.

This was a slow week due to low water.  

We managed 3 salmon & 3 grilse the biggest weighing 7lb this week. 

The fish were caught from different pool’s on the beat. Grey mare, Glister ,Spout & long pool. The chosen flies were Cascade, red Ally’s shrimp & Red Francis.

The second part of the week I started to see a few stale/ residents fish splashing around the pools. 

So we started fishing deeper with 1inch red Francis & the fish couldn't resist. 

Well down Juan Santamaria for catching sea liced fish on Saturday.

This week has been a difficult week due to low water and sunny spells.

We took the opportunity to focus on the maintenance on both beats strimming the banks and painting the hut at Middle Blackhall. 

The river is up a few inches today so fingers crossed this rise pulls in a few fish for the next guests!

This week was testing conditions. With low & clear water we could see fish holding in certain pools, but the fish werent taking any notice.  

On Monday evening I managed to landed a fresh 4lb grilse from the Cottage Run using a size 14 Silver stoat.

The Second half of the week the river has risen.

Fingers crossed for the following week.
