With very bright sunshine most of the week, a strong westerly wind and the river sitting at 6 inches every day it didn’t give us the best chances but we did manage to get one on Thursday morning from the Rock Heads, Alex Mason caught a fresh 6lb grilse (pictured below) which was safely returned. We need rain to stir things up. Hopefully it will come soon.

The week started off really well with the water sitting at 1ft 4in. We landed 2 on Monday from the Grey Mare. It was Wednesday before we caught another from Garden Run. Fishing conditions were extremely hard with bright sunshine every day and surprisingly early morning and evenings did not produce the goods. Hope we get rain soon.

A regular party of scandinavian anglers arrived to what turned out to be the second best week of the year to date. At the start of the week they were catching fish on Blue Charms but by the end of the week with the river rising they had to adapt to bigger flies and it paid off with them landing 16 for the week, the biggest being 17lb from Middle Ferrochs. The forecast for the coming week is dry with high pressure dominating which may not bode well for us.

Another good week with fish being landed every day on a variety of flies, these included Cascade, Monkey, Ally Shrimp, Sun Ray Shadows doing the business. The best fish of the week was caught by Keith Collins, a 16lb from Upper Ferrochs on a Sun Ray (pictured below). Fish were about in every pool but were very dour but with the forecast for rain next week it should waken them up.

Rain arrived on Sunday and we got a small lift of a few inches on Monday which produced 5 all from the Cottage and all to an Executioner, size 12. The river rose all day on Tuesday and we were lucky to get 1 as the water was getting dirty. By Wednesday it started to drop again and we landed 6, all on Cascades throughout the beat. Thursday the river was 3ft and rising and dirty. Friday and Saturday we managed a fish each day. All in all a good week.

With an experienced party of Cairnton rods who fished it hard in bright conditions we managed to land 8 for the week and connect with several others mostly from the Cottage and Invercannie again on Cascades,  which appears to be the weapon of choice this year so far. With rain in the forecast for next week we should pick away.

The week started off with good water and it continued all week. Fish were about but we only managed to land 4 in the first 3 days. We blanked the rest of the week but this was due to the bright conditions and not the lack of angling effort. The fish that were landed were again on Cascades, all from the Cottage. Keep fingers crossed for next week.
