After last Sunday's flood things weren't looking too great to be honest on Monday as the height of the river was sitting at over 6' on the Cairnton gauge and although the rods fished hard in all the quiet pockets and saw fish they had to settle for a blank. On Tuesday the water height was looking better and we had a coloured Grilse of 5lb on a Willie Gunn Snaelda. Wednesday the conditions were looking really good with the odd fish showing here and there but we drew a blank. On Thursday again it was looking promising with lovely conditions with a few fish showing and it was down to Jeff Hatton to save the day after many visits to Cairnton, Jeff landed a coloured cock grilse in the Malt Steep on an Ally's shrimp. Friday was a better day with two being landed by Colin Craik, with his biggest being 16lb from the Upper Ferroch on a JJ. Friday also produced a 3lb Sea Trout. Saturday was quite a difficult day with north winds and the odd shower floating about but we did manage a coloured cock Grilse late on, on a Sunray.

Just a few days left of the 2020 season so we will wait to see what the final tally will be by the end of Thursday.

Cheers Brian
