Pray For Rain!

The gauge at Peebles is currently sitting at 6" and, unless the rain that is currently moving in from the West pushes levels up, this coming week will be challenging for anglers on the upper river. Returns for last week show most catches concentrated on the lower and middle beats, I fear that this may not change significantly over the coming days if we do not get a rise in levels.

Floating lines and small flies will probably give the best chance of a fish. With the strong winds forecast anglers should also exercise caution when casting - try to keep the fly downwind when casting and always wear some kind of eye protection.
