A dry old Autumn.
Apologies for the lack of posts but contrary to what the Met office have promised in the way of rain we must have had one of the driest six weeks for some time so catches have suffered.
We did have a good start to the month with the Gardner party catching 13 for their week but after that the water went. The Gray party had a fantastic family holiday but Just the one fish was caught. Andrew Durward caught his first ever, a sea-liced Grilse from Burnmouth.
The Else party also had a fine family holiday but nothing was caught.
The Benson party managed 2 Grilse, one to Mr A Braithwaite from the Boat on a riffle hitch and one to Mrs Caroline Dickinson from Contractors on a 14 cascade. By this time the water was down to minus 12.
The Sykes party managed one salmon for their week, a 7lber from the Scarp of all places on a quarter inch micro conehead with the water at minus 14.
Unfortunately, the Gilmour party could not connect with anything in their week.
So far this week we had one grilse on Monday to Rick Verbeeten in the Washerwoman.
We thought we were in for a spate today as we were forecast heavy rain but it never materialised.
