Reporting to Saturday 17 September

Plagued by very strong westerly winds at the beginning of the week, this made conditions tricky, and as such there was very little fishing effort - supposedly the tail -end of Hurricane Katia, but really just the usual Scottish autumnal weather!! Heavy rain later on Friday put the river up to 2' 8" on Saturday morning. It steadied off to around 2' by mid-day and clearing so was definitely fishable. Decent sized pods of fish were moving through, and Donald Milne managed to intercept a 13 pounder from The Rumbler, followed by a 4lb sea trout later in the day from the same pool.

A further hen fish of around 8lb was taken by one of the co-owners. Both anglers experienced several good takes which failed to stick.

Prospects look first class for next week, if we do not get too much rain.
