Spring 2022
Although Daniel Logie got the Carron off the mark on the 1st of February with a springer from the tail of the Morail on the Gruinards side it was the 17th of February before Finlay caught our first fish, a 17lber, again from the tail of the morail.
The water dropped off for most of March but Jean Matterson saved a blank month with a springer from the Washerwoman with about minus 14″ on the gauge.
April saw 19 salmon landed with many more lost. The best week was the week of the 3rd with 13 landed on this side. Our tenant, Olly Alston also had Gruinards opposite and 2 rods on Dounie and between the three beats, they had 34 to between 5 and 7 rods.
We caught 39 salmon for May with the week of the 8th being the best. Nick Jupps’s party landed 13 for their week. Again most of the month was dry saved by good water between the 26th and the 3rd of June.
Nicky Griffiths’s part caught 7 and Rob Sloss’s caught 8 to the 31st and 11 for the week including the first grilse on the 1st from Contractors.
