A slightly calmer week on the river, though some great sport was had. The rainbow trout lakes continued to warm up, making for very challenging fishing. Good rises were noted at the brown trout lakes, particularly in the mornings. Caenis have been consistently successful there over the years.

Successful flies in the past week included:

Rainbow trout lakes: Colonel Creeper, Mayfly, Buzzer, Gnat, Klinkhammer.

Brown trout lakes: Emerger, Black buzzer, Ally McCoist, Orange damsel.

River: Mayfly wet and dry, PTN, Sedge, Klinkhammer, Red-beaded damsel.

Around the fishery – it is nest-box monitoring time, good broods of barn owls are occurring this year.
