Near Perfect Conditions

At last !! - I have been away for a couple of days on other business, and watching the news, I was beginning to think that it was no longer the West Coast of Scotland that was famous for rain. Feel sorry for those in Sheffield etc, but we really have been crying out for rain here - even had to water the lawn last week ! On my return last night from Glasgow I was pleased to see that there was at last water in the main river which is now eminently fishable.

better than that, I walked the dogs by the lower river ( Bottom Beat ) this morning, and was very pleased to see a fair head of Grilse awaiting the tide at the river mouth. Very few have been fishing the river as it has been so low. I heard through the grapevine however that a good Grilse of about 6lb was taken out of larches on Thursday night by a guest on Ardtornish. - Still awaiting reports from when I was away but will advise as soon as.

Its still raining, though not too much at the moment. Further rain is forecast for the rest of the week, so unlike Tony Blair's lot - things really can only get better !!!

Now fairly well booked up for July, though there are still days available - bring your waterproofs though - thankfully I think you will need them.
