Another day of damp misty conditions in the morning and blazing sun not helping all afternoon – thankful for my Russian mosquito net as midges very irritating on a couple of the pools! But I managed a very angry old 15lb cock fish off the top water in the morning and lost a smaller fish […]

5th September 2024 River Shin, Sutherland
Fished the lower beats in the morning. Weather over cast but dry. A 5lb grilse for Alan W and a 5lb grilse for me. I also lost two other fish. Pm on the upper water where blazing sunshine didn’t assist our cause but once the sun was off the water, I managed a reasonably fresh […]
4th September 2024 River Shin, Sutherland.
Up on the delightful river Shin in Sutherland with Desmond A. The Shin is dam controlled, so regular releases give a fairly constant water height through fast flowing rocky pools and runs. Quite a few fish showing on my first evening, two of which fell to my rod. 13lbs and 5lbs both slightly coloured. A […]
Dalmarnock, Tay 3rd September 2024
Dalmarnock Tay 3rd September 24 River at 3ft 6ins after a 4ft rise overnight resulting from torrential rain during my journey north, and slightly coloured. A day with Colin on Dalmarnock whilst on my way north to the Shin. 2 fish – A 7lb Hen from the Bridge pool in the morning and a 9lb […]

Murthly Castle, Tay 6th April 2024
Top Water – A washout. Water rose over a foot at night under torrential rain and was chocolate brown by the time we arrived. So all went home early. A sad end to the week, with just three fish off the lower water and all taken on the harl. An identical result to last year. […]
Murthly Castle, Tay 5th April2024
Lower Water: River 2ft all day. Heavy snow which settled then turned to rain later in the morning driven by our usual east wind – Joy. Nothing seen all morning then at about 3pm Cecil D got a fresh fish of 8lbs in the boat on a Kynoch. I saw another in the tail of […]
Murthly Castle, Tay 4th April 2024
Top Water: River 2ft 2ins dropping to 2ft during the day. Overcast and still the cold upstream wind. But at least we didn’t get wet. We fished hard but for no reward. Never saw or touched anything all day. Apparently they caught fish on Lower Newtyle, the next beat above us, so maybe our run […]
