This was a challenging week due to the sunny weather & lower water conditions & a rise in water temperature. 

On Monday, Martin Hawkins fished Middle Blackhall for 3 days. I met with Martin at the hut and we discussed tackle so small flies and lighter nylon should do the Business. 

We walked the beat together and i pointed out the likely spots. The Malt steep looked very fishy. So I suggested that he started at the head of the pool with a floating line with a size 10 black/ yellow.  He was rewarded with a 2lb Sea trout from the taking point. 

On the Cairnton bank my fishers were Mr & Mrs Richens who I met many years ago at the start of my ghilling career. It was nice to catch up with them. 

They fished for 3 days, we seen fish a mix of salmon & sea trout in various pools but sadly no offers. 

Giles Field & his friend fished over at Middle Blackhall for 4 days. 

Thursday night Giles landed a sparkling 2lb sea trout from Rockhead fishing a Floating line with 12 foot tapered leader and a size 12 editor into the last light. 

I hope this rain changes the river levels and water temperature over the weekend.
