As I stated midweek last week the fishing has been excellent and big numbers were posted on most estates. Borrobol rods had the lions share with a superb 38 fish for the week. The upper beats were providing most of the action as expected and coneheads and copper tubes scored well. I would guess around 200 fish came off the river last week.

The Association water offered good sport also and fresh fish were taken on most days, 16 was the total for the week. I even managed a few myself! A 1" tungsten Red Frances took my first and last fish of the week fished on a floating line and 10ft leader. I also managed to land another bonus fish in the tail of the Park pool on lower beat 2 fishing for Achentoul rods Saturday evening. The water was around 1ft 6 and the bigger pools on the beat were in absolutely incredible shape for the fly. Around 2 miles of beautiful water, I could not even scratch the surface on foot, and that was just on the lower beat left bank!

We are now in September and the back end feeling is here - although the weather is still pretty mild most salmon anglers are looking to present a bigger fly a little deeper in the water.

The flies below are ideal for salmon fishing late in the season and red/orange is the favoured colour generally. There are too many to list and some can come in deadly conehead form. Give me a call if you fancy some. Don't forget that all the new Carron & Mackenzie twin lines have been designed to handle all the sinking tips you require for late season fishing. We have a great range of quality Rio Versi-SinkTips to get your flies down. 5 densities from Intermediate 1.5ips to fast sink 7ips in 6ft or 10ft lengths pre-looped for easy adaptation to conditions.
