Roy Craigie reports that the Shean Lodge Fishery has had some good fishing so far this May with 26 salmon to 14lb taken by guests of the Lodge by the middle of the month…
Generally fishing had been quite slow during April with very low water and little sign of fish. However the rains came early in May, and despite some dirty floods after several weeks of low water, fishing began in earnest on 2nd May. There were 16 fish landed for the week with many returned and some lovely springers up to 14lbs netted.
The next week ending 16th May produced 10 springers and a fine specimen sea trout of 6lbs 2ozs, before water levels fell significantly before the week end.
As I write this note the river has risen again to 7 feet following heavy rain last night, so prospects for the coming days look excellent.
