Update from Tuesday 5th November to present

Fishing was excellent at the beginning of week beginning 4 November, Messrs Whalen and Maloney had 7 fish on the Tuesday, with the best 25lbs and our biggest fish so far this year. Bill Cook, fishing as a guest, had an excellent couple of days too, with 2 salmon and a sea trout on 8 November, and 2 salmon the following day. Best was 16lb and the fish came from the Castlehaugh Cheek and Bridge pools.

Special mention and congratulations to Tom Barton, who, fishing with Shun Washiya, landed his first salmon at 7lbs. The fish was taken from the very top of the beat, at Maggy's Tail.

Walter Davidson, fishing on 11 November, took a nice fish of 10lb from the Rumbler and on the same day Andy McLaughlan took a 5lb fish from the Castlehaugh Cheek.

Mr Morrison, fishing on 13 November caught an 8lb fish from the head of the Rumbler.

More fish were caught by the co-owners over this period. If any guest has been 'missed out' on the above, do please let us know and we will rectify.

Pictures from guests are always welcome, please just send to cardronafishings@yahoo.co.uk

As of the 15 November, the water is now getting low again and is sitting at 10". Please try and be sensitive about wading, as some new redds have been observed in the gravelly pool tails - these areas should be avoided if possible to reduce disturbance.

Report for week beginning 28 October

 

The week of 28 October provided some excellent fishing, with 20 salmon reported up to to 20lbs. Successful guests included Mr Landale with 2 salmon, Mr Parkin with 3 salmon, Mr Layburn with 1 salmon and Mr Truesdale with 2 salmon and a nice 8lb sea trout. The remaining fish were caught by the co-owners.

 

 

Two big autumn fish, returned. Approx 20lbs and 18lbs

Now that the water temperature has dropped, medium to fast sink tips should be deployed, together with dressed doubles or plastic/metal tubes, depending on the water height and speed. Succesful patterns include the Posh Tosh, Silver Stoat and Cascade.

The Tweed is experiencing a good run of particularly large fish this autumn, so make sure your cast is robust and well put together – we would recommend 15-20lb breaking strain minimum.

Good prospects

We have had a good week so far with rods on the water today still to add to the total.

Approx. 16lb cock fish returned Friday by Brian Marshall one of the owners .

More rain is due later today and Sunday so prospects for early in the week are good. Book via the FishTweed website.
