The Sloss party were plagued with low water all week so did very well to catch 8 salmon.
Top rod was Rob Sloss with 3. He had 1 from Contractors on the 14th on a small Collie then 2 on the 14th, one from Gardners on a micro red Francis cone and on from the neck of the Morail on a small red Francis cone. They weighed 8, 7 and 11lb.
Hugo Denee caught 2 for his short visit to Braelangwell. Both before breakfast, one from Gardners and one from Rock weighing 8 and 7lb.
James Preston, Rob Gould and Charlie Arden all had one each all from the Rock pool. Two were caught on a half inch collie and one on a 12 Park shrimp.
The height was between minus 9 and minus 15″ all week.

The Jupp party were plagued with low water all week but managed 5 salmon between them.
On the 7th with minus 6″ on the gauge three were landed and another was lost at the net. James Prior landed his first ever salmon from the Washerwoman weighing 9lb. He also lost the fish at the net in Gardners. Roger Brackpool caught an 8lber from Lower Craigs and Rick Verbeeten caught an 11lber from the Washerwoman.
On the 9th Roger caught a second salmon from Charlies weighing 6lb.
On Saturday morning at 7.40am Nick Jupp caught an 8lber from Gardners which was covered in long tail sea lice. The gauge was on minus 11″

Professor Gilmore’s party saw the end of the snowmelt that has kept the river at a very good height for the last 5 or so weeks. They caught 5 salmon for their week but it was hard going as fish still seemed reluctant to run up to the middle of the river.
On the 18th Professor A T Elder caught a 9lb salmon in Contractors. Some fish were obviously running as a fish rose and then pulled the fly in Macallan. Gruinards also caught a salmon with long tail lice in Bank.
On the 19th Alasdair Mackie caught a 10lb salmon from the Rock pool. This fish must have had some kind of encounter on it’s way to being caught as it had considerable scale loss and it was only played for 3 or 4 minutes before it came in. Jerry Alexander caught a very strong salmon from Kennel run weighing 10lb
On the 21st Jerry caught 2 more fish and lost 1 in quick succession. 1 came from Gardners and 1 from Rock, both on a Sunray Shadow.
The river stayed around the 9″ mark all week but dropped to minus 4 on Saturday. We haven’t heard much from the rest of the river but there was a minimum of 10 caught.

The Gilmour/Campbell party had good water all week but as it was snow melt the water was cold resulting in the salmon being reluctant to run up from the lower beats. We caught 2 salmon for the week at Braelangwell. Colin Campbell caught 1 in the Morail at about 8lb and Peter Crawfurd caught 1 in Kennel run at 7lb.
The party also had Cornhill where they caught 4.

There was good sport at Gledfield which is a 2 rod beat. They caught 21 springers for the week and another 11 were lost. There is a lot of availability on this beat. We don’t know what came off Invercarron but believe there was in excess of 35 fish caught from the river for the week.
