This was a  frustrating week due to an upset in water levels. We managed 2 grilse & 1 salmon.

Sadly the unsettled water put the fish off the take. 

This week I had a ghillie friend John Simm from the Tyne fishing Cairnton. On Tuesday John caught a 13lb salmon from Glisters on a home tied  1’ white willie Gunn with a fast sink tip.  

Andy Ashcroft caught a grilse from the Kelpie on a Willie Gunn tube & a sink tip. 

I caught a 5lb grilse with long tailed sea liced on a Triple Density F,H,I with a 10ft fast sink tip and a 1’ copper Willie Gunn. 

We hooked a few others throughout the week, but couldn’t get them landed. 

On Saturday the beat was looking fishy, 1’3 on the beat gauge. I had friends up from Newcastle,  Lucinda & Gary.  The pair fished the beat hard. We seen a lot of activity throughout the beat.  Lucinda had a chase from a salmon on a sunray in the Lower Ferroch but it didn’t stick. 

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