Big fish on Saturday

Here is an estimated 24lb fish taken by Iain Bain on Saturday from The Rumbler.

A few more fish yesterday....

A few more off Cardrona yesterday, best about 14lb.

Update 18 October

We've had another 6 fish since the last report, two fish to Mr Bryce on 17 October and the rest caught by Iain Bain. We got a reasonable rise in water to 1'7" on Tuesday 17th October, which will have moved some new fish in and freshened the water a bit, though it has dropped in to under a foot today. There is a distinct lack of sea trout in the catches this year. Whilst there appears to be a lack of fresh silver fish throughout the Tweed system this year, it is important to remember that at this late time of the season, fresh fish will often  race through the lower/lower middle river and may not feature in catches until they slow down in the middle/upper river. As such, there is still the prospect of a late run of newer fish, even into November. A lack of catches of fresh in the lower river is not always a reliable indicator at this time of year, when the fish have their heads down and sat nav set for the middle and top of the river.......

Below is Iain's fish from yesterday.

2016 season

It's been quite a slow start, mainly due to the extended summer, high water temperatures and lowish water. Despite that, we have had 12 fish to date, helped by one or two small rises in the water in the past month. Congratulations to Roy Bain, who caught his first salmon a few weeks ago. Congratulations also due to Mr Quinn, who had two fish early one morning before the mist lifted. Some pictures below. Further updates will follow.
