Anglers were handicapped with very low icy temps and snow last week so results were not going to be good. I heard of 1 fish off beat 6 on Monday before the ice and snow really set in.

Next week looks cold again to begin with but later in the week I think we are set for a big thaw and big rivers. This should really get the spring season going so its looking good to get the rod out if you have not already had a go. End of March into April is traditionally when we see a decent run of salmon entering our rivers so it is a lovely time to be out on the water as you know there are definately more fish running.

We have our popular 3 + 1 fly deal running right now to help you on your way with fly selection so its a good time to grab a few free Willie gunns and Monkey tubes which are legends of spring salmon fishing!
