As you may be aware we hold an Annual Fisherman’s Supper in Ayr. This year’s Supper will be held at the Horizon Hotel and we would be delighted if you could come along and join us. Tickets are priced at £25 per person but ideally we would love you to take a table for...
Burnock Big Trout
Once again the electrofishing has thrown up a nice trout. They are all nice, but some are nicer than others and this one was a cracker. At 38cm long, it wasn't as big as the Glenmuir fish from last week and was leaner but it was a lovely looking fish all the same....
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...

Catrine Survey
At last the River Ayr has dropped back to the lowest levels since July, allowing us to get on with some of our electrofishing and habitat surveys. The river was still higher than I would have liked and one site we had chosen to fish was abandoned as we quickly...

Autumn sunshine
We had a day in the Stinchar Valley enjoying the rare warmth of sunshine on our backs. We headed to the Water of Tig first thing this morning to survey the Dunnack Burn and the Tig itself. It had rained again last night but we went anyway hoping that the burns were...
