Fishing the Green bank Pool
Now back after what was a fairly good week on the Spey. The River was very high when we arrived, dropped a little, then rose again after rain. Fishing good, and apres fish with BBQ's outside the hut enjoyable. The stretch of river produced over 20 fish for the week, and a couple were over 20lb - all fresh run sea liced fish. A couple of grilse were also netted, and as last year they were very small - one hardly reaching 3lb !. This seems to be a trend on the Spey which can only be indicative of falling food levels when these lovely fish are at sea.

Now looking forward to July. - 2 places still left on the school and one or two days fishing still available if anyone interested.

While I have been away, Son in law John has been looking after things. Dr Hardy and friend had a good week here but were hampered by the weather later in the week. The sun came out, the River dropped, and there was little or no wind. They caught a few nioce trout, mainly in Arienas and the Hill Lochs.

On the River meantime, although levels were falling, a few grilse were showing themselves, and a salmon of over 10lb was active in larches pool. Rob, one of our guesta had a nice sea troput of just under 3lb from the Corner pool on the Top Beat.

Now waiting for rain again as the fish are starting to pile up at the river mouth.
