Better level!

The water has at last come down to a good level for us so let's hope for some more fish like this!

Sandy Nicol caught this belter on the vision at the Red Braes, a pool that has not been fished in the last week and a half due to the high water. We were watching the Sand-Martins preparing their burrows when the rod rattled! Well done Sandy.

Phew!

That came close to a week with no springer! But on the only day we fished (due to massive river all week) we got him. A lovely 8lb sea licer and one of the best looking fish so far. It was caught by Greggor Nimmo on the harled Vision and gave him a scrap to remember in high water. It's down to 2.5 feet above the stone and the colour is getting better. Lets hope for good catches next week.

It's common for fish at this time of year to be upside down.(need a lesson in basic computing).

The Tay

Big water today, after it fell to 4.5 ft above the stone it's back up over the grass at 5pm.

Well, it was on the cards.

Temp up - snow since november in the river.

This was the tay at 7pm today. And there is plenty more where that came from. Plums!

Nice one

Another springer for Peter Morrison who pulled this beauty out with his cast kynoch! Heads of lice on its gill plates so in for only a few days, well done Peter.

Lots of Wilsons and two more fish!

Great day today with another couple of sea liced spring salmon! Norrie Wilson got the first fishing with Kenny Wilson in the Fireshot before lunch.11lb

Then it was Jeff Wilson in the afternoon landing his first ever springer, at the Red Braes on the fly. Well done for a great 10lb fish!

Another fantastic spring salmon

Rab Brown and his pal Joe were down today to give it a go. After a morning in amongst many kelts it was Joe who struck silver with this lovely liced 10lb springer on the fly.

Well done boys.

2 More

Alan Barraclough with a 8lb springer at the Well Hole on monday and Jack Arthur with a sea liced 11 lb fish today on the fly at the Fireshot, well done guys!

More young anglers landing fish

Although no springers today, we finished the week on a high as Michael Sly's party saw Will and Lucy (brother and sister) landing fish. Will had two kelts to his own rod in the morning and Lucy one on the fly. Well done - the future is in safe hands.

 We have seen many kelts at the tail of the beat all week, but another five springers this week and lets hope for more!

5 springers so far this week

Thanks to Michael Sly who has not been able to fish so far this week but was keen for others to do so.
Young Charlie Robbins managed to complete his hat trick by landing this beautiful 11lb springer taken on a vision. He later went on to land a kelt on the fly!

20!

Fantastic end to last week and start to this week.
On Saturday Ross Mcgregor (again) got another 9lb springer in Berhaugh followed by Peter Morrison getting a 16lb fish at the Shochie with Jock Tait at the helm.
That took us up to 16 springers for the season - could we get the 20?
Yep!
Monday morning and Jim Kilgour gets the first springer. 10lb belter on the fly. Another seal marked fish.

Then Ross Mcgregor (again) with a 10lb springer on the fly which took in the craigs and was landed below the cradle stone.

Next up was Charlie Robbins. This spring specialist caught his first ever salmon, on the fly just below the Fishponds hut in the morning.

And his second, again on the fly, after lunch. Well done Charlie! 8 years old.

A great time.
