Autumn news! 16th October 2015 Dear Fly Fishers, Whilst the drought in the Borders continues to spoil the best of the autumn fishing on Tweed, my own salmon season has sadly now finished. So all I can do now is read the ever increasingly depressing reports whilst reflecting upon my own season and the much debated Scottish Fishery review. Not often […]

Iceland 2015 report
Iceland has had the coldest winter for many years and certainly I have never seen the mountains and volcanoes covered in so much snow before. Good news for the glaciers which have recovered a lot of lost ice, but not such good news for East Ranga which has been running at barely 4 degrees for […]
Varzuga 23rd to 29th May 2015
Our team of 9 (sadly without John M) arrived at the Sabbachi camp after a trouble free journey to find the river just coming down to a perfect height – the Shark-fin stone on the Heli-Pool just under the surface – but a little warm for my liking at 9 degrees. Fish run through fast when the […]
Varzuga just before we go
Just come off the phone with Charlie who spoke to Christopher this morning. You can get the publicised blog on Roxtons site, but the inside line is 60 fish from Middle yesterday fishing only 7 Rods (?) and 34 fish from Lower fishing 9 Rods with a number more lost. The water is already several […]
Tay report week ending 9th May 2015
Well at least it proved the point… Saturday water down to just under 2ft and on the lower water I managed another fish of 10lbs, Derek C added three more to his fish earlier in the week, 16lbs, 12lbs and 8lbs, Matthey G lost two more fish one of which broke his running line (A […]
Tay 8th April 2015
Water down to 2ft 4ins and clear, at last getting somewhere near a better height for Murthly. I managed a cracking 15lb hen covered in sea-lice (long live the Prawn!) had another offer and Matthew G lost a fish after a good few minutes, all from the Right Bank of the Tronach. We didn’t see […]
Tay 8th April 2015
Water still over 3ft for our day on Lower Water, still way too high for holding fish and slightly coloured adding to our woes. Nothing to show for our efforts.
Tay 6th April 2015
Its stopped b…….y raining at last this morning. Water well over 3ft 6ins on the upper water, but at least high enough to bring the fish up the sides. Jon K lost another salmon because his posh reel jammed for a second time, but did manage a 2lb Sea Trout for his pains. Derek C […]
Tay 5th may 2015
update from my phone…. water 2ft 6ins and clearing am, Cecil d lost 2 fish in spruces one of which broke him, before the gales and driving rain made the river rise again and colour. It couldn’t get any worse!
