Week of the 18th September
The week started with 2ft on the gauge and a drop in water temperature to 53f dropping down to 48f on Saturday morning. The water was unsettled and rising on 4 of the 6 days but we managed 13 salmon and 5 grilse for the week. All the fish were taken on sink tips.
Stuart Walker caught the biggest at 36.5″ so, about 17lb and was top rod with 4. we also had 2 first fish. Archie Raffan caught an 8lber from Gruinards run on a Kyley and Roger Drayton caught an 8lber from Gardners.
18 salmon is a very good week but the party fished hard for that fishing before breakfast and till 7pm most days. It is a good indication that there are not as many fish in the system. The party have the record week for the beat which was 49 under similar conditions.
