Iain Bain with our first, a 7lb licer caught on the fly.

cheers

sorry - been a while

The 2016 season looking good as the river is filling up much quicker than usual. we already have resident salmon.

Here is Harry and Ross Mcgreggor , Harry caught this 17lb Salmon on the fly at lodge end at 12 years old( Harry not lodge end).

Hold on to that Dick!!!
This is Dick Garrow part of the Adam Neilson party who landed 5 salmon today - the best July day for us for 30 something years.

13lber away

David Brown then landed this 16lb hen also safely returned .

Another lovely fish Mr Garrow 14lb hen again safely released. 2 grilse caught too by Dylan.

May Fishing

John Lessels got a lovely 9lb fish today complete with long tail lice on it in the Craigs.

John also had a hold of 3 seatrout and landed one. A great day John - well done.
Then we heard of a fish being caught on the beat above so we new a few must have been going through.

This was proved correct when just before lunch Jock Tait 'stapled' this licer of 8lbs below Benchil Green! Nice one Jock!

Caught a fish

Alex Graham

Fishing the fly from the bank, Alex Graham caught a fantastic fish today. and then caught a 2lb sea trout on the same fly. We heard the whistle from the boat harling Benchil Green and saw Alex fighting the 20lb Spring Salmon at the Ponds. At 1.3 ft over the stone in fast water Alex played the fish with great skill into the net following many tricky moments.

One lovely Springer

John Patterson landed this absolutely lovely 7lb Springer today. He and Derek Currie had 3 fish on today - Derek landed a 10 lb kelt (and there aint many of them around) shortly after John lost a fish which we didnt see , and then the springer.  The river has dropped to 1.5 ft over the stone and the lower it gets the better.

Book the open top bus!!!!!!

Same day as last year and same angler and lets hope the pattern with last year ends there.

Caught in the fast flow at the bothy at 2.5ft over the stone and landed by John Lessels.
Nice fish John.
