Managers Comments:
Another successful week down in our 2017 season. The numbers have certainly picked up again this week, we are heading in the right direction! The fish this week have been a real mix, everything from from sea lice twenty pound fish to the one week old ten pounders. Great to still be catching a good number of really fresh fish.

We started the week off with some slightly heavier gear, all floating lines with sink tips up to T17. But rapidly, as the week progressed, we started to move closer to the surface, finishing off on full floaters. No body yet has managed to strike lucky with a dry fly, however the odd hitch and bomber have been attempted, sadly with no success. Size of fly has been hugely varied. Every thing from big heavy schneldas to small size doubles have been fished with results. I think it goes to show, when you've got a good head of running fish, they're not overly fussy!

A large number of fish, have been lost, endless pulls and knocks - I believe this is a sure sign of running fish.
There have been some fanatic days this week some of the rods, I'm sure will remember for a long while. George has had a couple of wonderful days of catching up 5 fish, with some seriously good quality beasts in amongst them. Also Alan has continued through the week to catch a constant number a fish, well done Both!
