Boxalls 1st May 2014
Well, well… Ron R has always been the Midas of the weather in all the time he has been coming here and yet yesterday was a pretty damp, dull day so obviously even the boss is sometimes out to lunch when you need him! So, the rain really spoiled the best of the Mayfly hatches but between downpours the fish still […]
Trout day at Little Saxbys Farm 22nd April 2014
Doesn’t take long but it makes a significant difference to the results… On Friday we saw the first of the Mayfly hatches this year but the fishing was really quite difficult. The fish seem frightened of these flies and reluctant to feed. Yesterday it was all change. In just four days the fish have wised up to […]
Trout day at Little Saxbys Farm 18th April 2014
The first Mayfly of the year but as is often the case the trout were reluctant to take them. It generally takes a week of so before they catch on! But great see two novices Ian and Sharon S. catch their first fish.
Murthly Report April week ending 12/4/14
A week of frustrating water levels, about sums up our first week at Murthly this year. Just as the water was coming down to a good height (2′ and under) the week before – and yielding up 11 fish – a big rain belt swept through the west on the Sunday and up she went. 3′ […]
Murthley report 11 th April
Still plagued by higher water than Murthley likes, on Wednesday Terry C. managed to get two fish 7lbs and 8lbs from the right bank of the Tronach whilst Tony in the boat managed three more 2 on the Harled fly one on a Kynoch. Yesterday under seemingly ideal conditions but the water still a little too high […]
Murthely Report 9th of April
We arrived with the water level at 3″ 7′ up from 2″2′ the previous day which was not an ideal height for Murthley but never the less Cecil D. got a 7 pounder from Sparrowmuir, Graham M. got a 10 pounder from the left bank of the Garth and two more fish were lost. On […]
Murthly before we go!
Just had a chat with Donald to get the conditions before we go up to Murthly on Sunday Water height just over 2ft but raining and the river rising a little today (Thursday) But there are fish around in good numbers. Donald had 2 on Monday off the bottom beat, one a 20lb fish on […]
Trout Season off to a great start!
Glorious sunshine and a lovely calm day for the opening day at the farm… David M at 91 once again hooked and landed the first fish of our season – as he did last year! 5 of us fishing caught 29 trout in just a few hours (most of which we returned) before a […]
Trout season opens next week
Picture: Cecil D on opening day at Little Saxbys Farm 2013 It might have been the wettest winter on record but it was also one of the mildest and water temperatures are already near perfect for the time of year. The Salmon fishing on most rivers is now well under way and the Trout fishing […]
