    This was a  frustrating week with a nice height of water but there was lots of grass to be cutting,  but we still managed 4 grilse, 2 salmon and a 2lb sea trout 

    On Monday I caught a lovely grilse in the colonels with a 1” 

    Willie Gunn on a 10ft tip. I then lost 2 in the lower Ferroch. 

    Wednesday Tim larkman caught a cracking 16lb from Glisters using a red Francis & a fast tip. 

    Wednesday evening I caught a clean 12lb hen fish at the tail of the Grey mare on last light using a  triple density shooting head a Float, hover, intermediate with a 10ft fast tip & a 1” copper willie Gunn. 

    On Thursday Ian Johnston caught a sea trout from Glisters on a red Francis. 

    I invited Martin Hayward up for a cast over at  Middle Blackhall he caught a 4lb grilse from the Malt steep on a copper willie Gunn. 

    Friday evening I caught a 6lb fish from the tail of the Lower Ferroch on a sunray with a Constant strip.Just before the rise.

    Saturday afternoon I caught up with Chris Johnston In Grey Mare I suggested we head up to Lower Ferroch where it looked fishy. After a few points Chris was on his way. 10 minutes down the pool he was rewarded with a grilse around the 4lb mark. 

    The river is dropping back nicely fingers crossed we have good week. 

    Tight lines
