Season so far
Where do I start!!
Two salmon were caught before the season was brought to a crashing halt with lockdown coming in just before the lodge’s first tenants. After the initial lifting of lockdown the five mile rule was imposed meaning that the river could only be fished by those lucky enough to live on it. Recently, this rule has been lifted and we have been able to get in day-rods who took good advantage of beats up and down not only the Carron but many other rivers. It was great to see many beats like ourselves offering fishing at a discounted price so that anglers had the opportunity to fish beats that they could normally only dream about.
There was a bit of a dry spell in June but even although we were lightly fished 17 salmon up to 19lb were landed. We also caught 5 grilse and 7 sea-trout.
Last week day-rods caught 21 salmon/grilse and 5 sea-trout with 10 of these caught on Monday to Scott Maclean’s party. The biggest, a fish of about 22lb was caught in Gruinards run to Timmy Watson. It’s just a pity the river dropped away each day.
We have the first tenants arriving tomorrow so hopefully, we can get back to some sort of normality for the rest of the season.
