This past week got off to a more promising start with the height on Monday sitting at minus 3.5 inches but it did rise a couple of inches with heavy overnight rain on Sunday and by Tuesday we were sitting on 1 inch above 0 inches but unfortunately the levels fell away as the days went on and by Saturday we were back down to minus 3.5 inches, also the morning water temperatures were back down to the lower 60's Fahrenheit. Pretty much most days were uncomfortably hot and bright with an occasional breeze. The weeks catch was two sea trout, one of 3lb for Bob Kenyon and another one of 3lb for Bernard Bimboes with a few others being lost.

The coming week looks like the heatwave is over, for the time being anyway, with a drop in temperatures and some rain floating about so fingers crossed.

Last week the fishing and weather conditions couldn't have been more difficult with very hot bright sunny days and a dropping river with a 63/64 Fahrenheit morning water temperatures and creeping up as the day went on so not the easiest fishing but we had the return of Ian Wilson and party for the week and they certainly cover the water but because of conditions this was mainly in the cooler hours, evenings and very early mornings until the heat of the day got going and they finished the week with a well earned 4 sea trout to 3lb and others being lost. 

The week ahead looks as though we have a change of weather on the way with rain forecast for Monday and also some showers as the week goes on with more wet stuff forecast for Saturday so fingers crossed.

Last week was a tough one for fishing, the river sat at 0" on the gauge on Monday and finishrd at - 2" on Saturday. Overhead it was cloudy/overcast for the first three days and then very hot and sunny the last three days, the water temperatures ranged between 60 to 56f over the week. However it wasn't totally futile as our fisherthem certainly put the hours in and they did connect with some fish and sea trout but unfortunately only managed to land two sea trout for the week with the largest of those being a 4lb er for Johnathan Lane from Invercannie.

The week ahead looks to be a hot one again with a chance of a thunder shower this evening but dry the rest of the week, the winds coming from an easterly/South East direction.

The fishing conditions were very hard this past week with mostly bright blue skies and relentless sunshine but occasionally we did see some cloud which gave the rods a bit of a breather. It was certainly cooler in the mornings and evenings with a slight frost on Friday morning. The water temperatures varied from 55f on Monday to 60f on Saturday. We got off to a good start on Monday with an 8lb fish on a small Stoat Tail in the Cottage Run. Tuesday was fairly quiet. On Wednesday, Andy Ashcroft had a 2.5lb seatrout. Thursday we had three seatrout to 3lb. Friday a few fish were seen before the heat of the day got going and Saturday produced two 8lb ers, one from the Upper Salt Vat for Ian Anderson on a small Sunray in bright sunshine and Ewan Maclachlan landed his first Cairnton fish from the Grey Mare on a small JJ and was still carrying lice. This coming week looks to be pretty dry again but winds coming from an easterly direction so hopefully its slightly cooler.

At the start of last week the river was looking really good with a water height of 1' and a water temperature of 55 Fahrenheit so expectations were quite high for some fish but everything was pretty quiet on Monday. From Tuesday onwards conditions took a turn for the worse with the rest of the week seeing bright sunshine/clear skies and a steadily dropping river and although we did see a fish or two over the week we had to settle for a blank but a good effort from all the fishers who persevered from early mornings and into the late evenings.

The week ahead looks to be a dry with plenty of sunshine and some cloud with winds from a west and northerly direction.

We have rods available this week on both Cairnton and Middle Blackhall so if you did fancy a day out in beautiful surroundings on the river get in contact to book.

A fair mix of overhead conditions this past week which included bright sun, cloud, wind and some heavy showers. The water height started at 11" on Monday and dropped slowly as the week went on, pretty favourable for good fishing. We did see an odd fish the first couple of days but they weren't hanging around too long but long serving Cairnton fisher Mike Richardson from Bath managed to land a lovely 9 lber from the Garden Run on Tuesday, on an Allys Shrimp. The next 3 days were unusually quiet with only an odd fish seen but there was certainly some more life about on Saturday with more fish being seen as well as well as the odd coloured one or two plus fish being lost.

At the moment there is a small rise coming through so maybe it will be enough to stir the fish up a bit for this coming week. 

The forecast looks cloudy with an odd shower the first half of the week then brighter and sunny for the second half of the week. Winds from a westerly direction.

If you fancy a cast please check the availability listing on our website and then book with Sarah.

Well we finally got rid of the Easterly wind that has been plaguing us for the last few weeks and welcomed a more spring like feel, warmer air temperatures and a softer atmosphere which makes a huge difference to spring growth on the river banks and trees however it wasn't all sunshine as we experienced quite a lot of thundery downpours on Tuesday resulting in a very heavily coloured river on Wednesday making the fishing pretty difficult however before and after that we had reasonable conditions and Henry Craven Smith landed our first of the week on Monday, a lovely 8lb er in the Grey Mare on a Cascade. Henry followed this up on Tuesday with our first sea trout of the season from Grey Mare and was 3lb.  On Thursday, Andy Ashcroft had an 8lber in the Malt Steep on an Allys Shrimp and that was us for the week. 

The week ahead looks like rain for today (Sunday) then more showery for a few days with another band of rain moving over on Thursday and winds from a westerly direction.

As always you can check our availability on our own website and then book directly with Sarah.
