Martin Cellier had a great catch from over the long weekend, a 10.5lb Salmon.
River height this morning is 1.14m. and there are beats available.
Go fishing…
The Erriff is a spate river, more noted for summer salmon and grilse fishing than for early season spring fishing. Spring salmon run the river in good numbers during May and well into June, although angling effort is usually low at this time of year. The grilse start entering the river in mid-June and the run peaks in July-August. The river itself is about 8 miles long, and not a very wide channel, so for summer fishing a single handed 7-8 weight rod tends to be sufficient. For heavy water, a small double hander can come in handy.
