This was a good week for the  Danish team. Fishing with old school fly patterns from back in the days of A.H.E Woods. The Blue charm on singles & size 10 ,12 doubles with long tapered leader on floating line & casting at 45 degrees then letting it swing. 

Once that become ineffective the team would switch to size  10,12 Hairy Marys with a sunray close by just in case of emergences.  The Cairnton bank landed 5 salmon and 7 Grilse for the week with the same again lost at the net. With a hand full of clean fish being hooked & landed. 

This week I met with kim Michelson and his two friends Peter Jensen and Per Larsen at the Upper Ferroch hut. The beat was at a perfect height 1’1 on the the beat’s gauge.  Water temperature 58f. The weeks forecast was dry with rain towards the latter part of the week. The week looked promising especially with the numbers of fish I seen throughout the beat at the tailend of the week before. 

I pointed out a few pools that would fish then we decided to split the beat into three. 

Kim started in the old garden heading down Stream. Peter started in the Cottage pool & Par started in the Grey mare.  Monday was a slow day with only 1 fish being landed by Kim in the old garden with a size 10 blue charm on a long tapered leader. 

The star of the week was Per Larsen who caught 6 fish and landing the biggest being 18lb, from the Grey mare on a Blue charm. 

A big well done to the 3 fisherman. 

Saturday afternoon the river started rising and sadly it killed the sport. 

Fingers crossed this rise will pull in a few fresh salmon. 

Tight lines
