Another dry day, more great trout!
Making the most of low(ish) water levels, I headed out this morning to complete the Burnock Water survey with Natalia and Meryl whilst Gillian and Helen made for the Garnock and Caaf Water to undertake a new survey. I can't let you know about the Garnock results yet...
Irvine Valley Problems UPDATE
On the 24th September, I reported on erosion on the main stem of the Irvine at Galston. I was concerned at the level of erosion at this modified stretch and indicated that I'd speak to the Council about tis. I haven't yet but today I received a call from Gary Anderson...

Salmon running at Catrine Dam
Following yesterday's spate I thought I'd have a look at Catrine Dam for running fish. As expected, there was a constant stream of salmon and trout attempting the leap at Andersons pool but not in the numbers we are used to at this time of year but I expect that's...
Glenmuir Electrofishing
We to say this is late in the season for these surveys is an understatement. We normally fish these site around the end of July but this year that hasn't been possible due to the high water levels that have prevailed. Today we headed to our usual sites on the Glenmuir...
