Paul Whelan reports on the Fort William where they have got the season off to a start…
08 May: Delighted to have our first of the season on the bank! Brian Hennessy landed the first fish of 5.5lbs off the Castle beat in the Powdering Tub.
13 May: Nice start to the morning with this 13lb salmon taken off the Castle beat. Happy angler Marus Bale landed this fish in the Weir pool.
Water levels are dropping back nicely after another flood which has peaked over 2m. Clarity is at about 3ft so its fining off nicely. Forecast for the coming few days is a bit of a mixed bag so we can only wait and see if levels will rise.
Gauge .70m
