    A lovely week for fishing and nice to see water in the river again with the height at 3" on Monday and rising to just over 1ft by Wednesday. Thursday/Friday it was steady at 11" but with overnight rain on Friday, Saturday was a bit of a wash out as the height was just over 3ft by end of play. Water temperatures ran fairly steady all week around 58/60 Fahrenheit. We ended up with 6 Salmon, 1 Grilse and 3 Sea trout. A good class of summer fish with 3 of them in the teens of pounds with the largest for Robert Bramman from Kelpie pool and was 15lb and surprisingly only the one grilse landed. Flies that were working were Sunrays, Willie Gunn’s and Cascades.  The week ahead looks to be a mixture of dry and wet at times with rain coming from a westerly direction. 

    Cheers Brian
