10 June: Fishing conditions have being very difficult at the moment with high temperatures and clears skies but saying that we need water temperatures to rise. A few fish are moving and yesterday Bob our guide had a nice salmon of 10lbs off the Glenmore beat on fly. Fish took a size 12 cascade. Another couple of fish too were hooked and lost off the Ellis so things are looking up with this low water.
Forecast for the coming week is not to bad with some rain on Tuesday but to clear again.

Go fishing…
Flowing through Cork and Waterford, in the south east of Ireland, the river Blackwater is most famous for it’s salmon fishing. Fort William Fishery has 5 beats on the river, which include stretches particularly suited to flyfishing. Our beats offer a wide variety of water, suitable for both beginners and the more experienced fishermen. In summer we have also good numbers of sea trout. On the estate there is two self-catering cottages and tackle/freezer room. Whether you like fishing for salmon or fly fishing for sea trout, Fort William will meet all your game angling requirements and much more.
