Two large sea trout

It is pleasing to report that Charlie McGhee, a regular fisher at Cardrona, managed a brace of fine sea trout today. Capitalising on promising conditions, Charlie took a 6 pound fish from the Castlehaugh Cheek early this morning. Later in the afternoon, a further fish was hooked and lost in the same pool, and not long after, this fine 7 pounder was taken. All fish succumbed to a smallish and lightly dressed yellow/red conehead. Congratulations Charlie, and haste ye back!

Water was fining down today from the long-awaited spate on Saturday night and a number of running fish were observed on the move today. Upper Tweed should be on song now, the water is clearing and more rain is expected this week.

Action in the Castlehaugh Cheek and subsequent release.
