Salmon fishing can be a great leveler! Just when you think you have pretty much nailed it, it can come back to bite you. Saturday on the lovely little river Shin, dawned with a heavy mist lifting off the loch and the inevitable midge hatch. But they were soon blown away along with the clouds […]

6th September 2024 River Shin, Sutherland.
Another day of damp misty conditions in the morning and blazing sun not helping all afternoon – thankful for my Russian mosquito net as midges very irritating on a couple of the pools! But I managed a very angry old 15lb cock fish off the top water in the morning and lost a smaller fish […]
5th September 2024 River Shin, Sutherland
Fished the lower beats in the morning. Weather over cast but dry. A 5lb grilse for Alan W and a 5lb grilse for me. I also lost two other fish. Pm on the upper water where blazing sunshine didn’t assist our cause but once the sun was off the water, I managed a reasonably fresh […]

Up on the delightful river Shin in Sutherland with Desmond A. The Shin is dam controlled, so regular releases give a fairly constant water height through fast flowing rocky pools and runs. Quite a few fish showing on my first evening, two of which fell to my rod. 13lbs and 5lbs both slightly coloured. A […]

Diving in Egypt
A bit off topic I know, but many of my fishers also like Scuba diving and you might be interested by my recent trip to Egypt with my kids. I wanted to get away from the tourist traps, avoid the crowds and get Rory and Sasha taught to dive in the comfort and safety of […]
Record Spring at Murthly Castle on Tay 2013
2013 was the best spring salmon fishing I have ever seen on the Tay – In my first April week, fishing Murthly 1. and Stenton on the River Tay, we landed 18 Springers, beating my previous best of 16. Then in early May running my courses on just the Murthly beat 1, we got another […]
