The water arrived but the fish did not in any serious numbers. The last week in July has been explosive many times in the past and hopes were for a repeat of the same this year but it was not to be. The beats picked away and the Association water did the same but numbers were nowhere near what might have been expected.

Parts of the Spey on the other hand just across the firth had some phenomenal fishing with one beat on the lower river registering over 100 fish for the week. Going forwards who knows what will happen but let’s hope that the rain keeps topping things up so that if there are still decent runs of fresh fish to come at least they will have free passage, we do not want any more drought conditions.
