An above-average catch of good sized salmon and two grilse were landed during June. The best fish of 13.5 lb was caught by Jim Houston but there have been no confirmed catches of sea trout. The very small grilse, so numerous up to two years ago, have all but disappeared and hopefully will be replaced by the traditional 6–7 lb grilse run which has been scarce for a long number of seasons. Anglers are hoping for a few July floods, and with all legal netting stopped since last year, we have high hopes of a decent grilse run. With the now well-established late August/September run of 8–12 lb fish, a good season is expected.
