The Mackintosh/Aspbury week started with the BBC forecasting lots of rain which just didn’t materialise. A good number of grilse appeared in the beat but with the low water they just wouldn’t take and when we had a small rise in water one night they disappeared upstream

We did manage to catch 2 fish. Peter Aspbury caught an 8lb sea liced salmon from the neck of the Morail. He also lost a couple more fish during the week. Paul Marlhand caught a 5lber, also from the neck of the Morail.

Unfortunately, the week of the 22nd of July was blank. 2 or 3 fish were lost but also the sun put in a major appearance with temperatures reaching 26c for most of the week. When the water temperature very quickly reached 19.6c on Saturday morning we stopped fishing and left the fish alone.
