Indian Summer

This last week has seen more settled weather and the bright sunshine and gradually falling water (now at just under one foot above summer levels) has meant for pleasant but generally unproductive fishing conditions. There have been rewards for those who were persistent, the most notable catch was a 8.5lb salmon caught on an Ally's Shrimp by Robert Steel. Two sea trout were caught early on in the week, the biggest, a fish estimated at 6lbs, was captured by Tom Borthwick.

We are unlikely to see any significant rainfall over the next few days but there is likely to be more cloud cover which should improve prospects for those hoping to catch a September salmon.
