Water down a little on yesterday for us on the Lower Water. Overcast morning but very cold easterly wind. I saw a fish in the tail of the Spruces early on but it either wasn’t interested or had moved on by the time Dennis P covered it. Several other fish seen today and Peter W […]

Murthly 8th April 2019
Upper Water: Height 1ft 6ins on Caputh gauge, mild some cloud cover in the morning and a good team of rods. It doesn’t get better…. except there were no fish. None of us saw so much as a fin all day other than a spectacular hatch of olives or March Browns and trout rising all […]
Dalmarnock 6th April 2019
Occasional showers forecast for us by the BBC for the morning… try torrential rain all morning and into the afternoon. River was rising, we were wet but enthusiasm was not diminished. Several fish seen. Jane S had a brief encounter in the Summerhouse pool, Lars R had a fish boil at his fly with me […]
Dalmarnock 5th April
It has stopped raining at last, however now replaced with blazing sun – are we ever happy? But at least the river is dropping back. Anyway, it was a truly lovely day on the river even if we only saw one fish, which totally ignored a fly put in front of it. Sadly therefore nothing […]
Dalmarnock 5th April 2019
Water 2ft 1in after 7 inch rise during the day yesterday spoiled what were just coming to be perfect conditions, though teaching 5 novices wasn’t giving us much actual fishing. Encouraging to see at least five fish moving through during the day. Hope we might get a chance today.
Trout Course 23rd March 2019
Another perfect day conditions-wise. Mild, overcast and a slight breeze. As ever on my courses, the morning spent learning the basics of assembling the kit, casting, fishing techniques and entomology and then the afternoon fishing. A good midge hatch assisting our efforts and a first brace of trout for John B in addition to the […]
Great opening day!
The trout season at Little Saxbys Farm opened on Wednesday with perfect conditions, mild overcast and a light breeze. Compared to last year when Ron R. was the only syndicate member to brave the snow on opening day, we had a full compliment this year and a great result. 3 first fish for Maggie W. […]
New season approaches!
Well, despite the best efforts of storm Garry to deter us, the new seasons fish went into the lakes today without loss. It is always good to see the lakes stocked. Time to shrug off the winter, dust off the gear and get ready for opening day. The lakes are in fine ply, full but […]
A last minute vacancy on Murthly 11th,12th and 13th April
One of my regulars Desmond A, has been scheduled for a routine, but very inconvenient, operation just prior to our Murthly week this year and cannot now take up his rod for the three days fishing 11th – 13th April. Cost £528 for the fishing, hotel extra around £86 per day DB&B and packed lunch. […]
