FOR WEEK ENDING SUNDAY 18th JULY 2021

Salmon fishing is good, and Grilse are also more plentiful now in the system. The best of salmon is in the middle to lower reaches due mostly to water levels.

Fisheries like Fort William, Blackwater Trout and Salmon Fishery, Lismore Castle, Blackwater Salmon Fishery and Careysville have been reporting fish.

Paul Whelan at Fort William tells us that the Ellis beat was producing very well last week and plenty of grilse are running.

Advice is to start early and look for fish in the shade as the sun rises higher.

Go fishing…

Blackwater Salmon Fishery

Blackwater Salmon Fishery has 3 beats downstream of the weir and 2 upstream of the weir. Blackwater Salmon Fishery offers fishing on approximately 5 miles of the river Blackwater. The fishing is spread throughout the middle section of the river to offer good sport throughout the fishing season. Due to the location of the beats, fishing can still usually be offered in low or high water.
