Update
We, at Braelangwell landed 3 salmon last week taking us to 6 for the season so far. Considering we have had long spells of dry weather that's not bad at all.
Cornhill landed 3 last week with their first fish of the season landed on the Friday before by Alan Donaldson. I have only heard of 1 salmon off Invercarron.
The total for the river is low but the lodges are not let early meaning lack of rods fishing. We have day rods, Gruinards has been virtually unfished so far, Dounie, Cornhill and Gledfield very lightly and a few rods out on Invercarron.

Not at Braelangwell but I think it's worth mentioning that there's been 10 salmon caught so far this week on the Upper Brora. That is good going. A good bend in the rod

We finally got some water which wasn't even forecast. The river settled at 2ft 9 this morning dropping off to a foot at 5pm.
We landed 3 springers all a good 10lb each. All from the Morail None had sea lice. John Ritchie caught the first one in the morning with about 2ft 3 on the gauge. Scott MacLean got the second with about 1ft 9 on the gauge and Finlay got the third at about 1ft 7. The good news is that fish were also showing in the Morail and Scott saw one head and tail in Kennel run.

2ft 9 to start a Monday on.

With the water temperature at 49f on Wednesday and 44f this morning it's worth giving the neck of the Morail a go.

The second salmon of the season from the Carron was caught this afternoon on the Invercarron beat by Douglas Macleay.
The river is low with only minus 7" showing on our gauge.
Not the best photo but a fish is a fish.
Angus Griffiths landed the first one here, at Braelangwell last Tuesday from the Bank pool.

Angus Griffiths landed our first fish of the season from the Bank pool this morning weighing 7lb at about 11am. The river was running at 1ft 6 and the water temperature was 43.5f.
