Week of the 19th August

Tags : Braelangwell Carron Fishing Grilse Highlands Kyle of Sutherland Kyle of Sutherland Fisheries River Carron Salmon Salmon fishing Scotland Scottish Scottish rivers Sutherland

Well, what can we say other than despite the forecast promising rain most days last week it never really came to much.
On the Friday the river rose a foot to minus 6 equaling the highest the river has been since the week of the 17th of June!!! Stuart Dawson caught a 7lb salmon in Upper Craigs. We had another rise in water in the evening giving us 0 on the gauge on Saturday morning. 2 fish were caught, Stuart Dawson caught his second, a 12lber from the Field and the host Iain Ogdon caught a grilse of 5lb on the Morail.
We hear there was around 11 salmon caught from Amat last week. Some of them were fresh.

Week of the 30th April

Last week we had our best April week since 1980 catching 22 salmon for the week so expectations were high. The river had dropped away but was still ok. We caught 7 for the week and also lost several.
Steven Wade started his week with his first ever salmon from Gardners run. He then caught another from Contractors on Wednesday.
On the 1st Robin Minter-Kemp caught a 10lb salmon on a collie from Keepers and Chris Higham caught an 8lb salmon from Judges.
On the 4th Dick Threlfall caught a 10lber from Pigeon rock on a Kyley.
On the 5th Paul Welling had an 8lber from Gardners and Chris Higham finally caught a salmon skating a collie in the Washerwoman.
Considering the water peaked at minus 3″ and was off the bottom of the gauge one day we didn’t do badly.

Having a rough count of salmon caught off the river to the end of April we think no fewer than 210 were landed. We must have had some of the best fishing anywhere.
