River Tweed River Report Week Ending 28th August 2021 - Tay Salmon Fly

 

River Tweed River Report Week Ending 28th August

 

 

Fishing continues to be a struggle with the continued low water and with the return of the bright sunshine and clear skies made conditions even harder to catch. Success was had with some early stays before the harr cleared and in the early evenings. The bulk of the catch still appears to be river fish with some fresh grilse amongst them. The river is badly needing a good clean out with the bottom of the river very dirty and lots of algae still hanging about the slack sections.

 

Above Kelso 40 fish were reported, Between Kelso and Coldstream 95 were reported and below Coldstream 67 were reported. With the best fishing being on the Sprouston and Ladykirk beat’s where 18 salmon were landed.

206 Salmon and 17 Sea Trout were landed for the week with the best fish 22lb Salmon caught on the West Learmouth beat.

 

 

Places to Stay, Eat and Browse Locally

 

After any fishing trip on the Tweed it’s always worth a trip to Kelso to enjoy a superb meal with great atmosphere in the fabulous Contented Vine restaurant. I would highly recommend it as a must visit during your trip. Call 01573 224777 to reserve your table.

 

***NOW AVAILABLE FOR BOOKINGS*** Fantastic new self-catering accommodation at the 1905 Holiday Let which sits in a peaceful position on the cobbled streets of Kelso above 1905 Bar where one can enjoy a pint of real ale or a G&T in a cosy yet traditional bar. Four Bedroomed apartment in central Kelso for Holiday or longer term let. The accommodation sleeps 8 people. To book a stay in this superbly refurbished to a very high standard accommodation please go to this link https://abnb.me/ITUcD4HPOfb

 

 

We are blessed in this area to have some superb local fishing tackle shops that are well worth a visit the superb well stocked Borders Gunroom in St Boswells. I would recommend for a rummage round which and find out from the local staff what’s currently doing the damage on the river and lochs.

 

 

The stunning Saddler Cottage, located within the grounds of Tillmouth Park in now under new ownership. Suitable for fishers and families this lovely cottage is very handily placed for fishing the Lower and Bottom Tweed beats.

A new and freshly available holiday let. The ‘Kelso Cobbles’ is a self-catering accommodation that can sleep 9 people.

It has a separate dining room and benefits from its location of being very close to all local restaurants and shops in the centre of Kelso and overlooking the beautiful Kelso Abbey. For more information and bookings please contact Jason 07836270390.

 

 

 

The week ended with the level at Sprouston 1” and the water temperature is 60.

 

 

Looking at the availability for the week ahead, the river is really busy with not much availability for the next few months. If you are looking to fish the river I would suggest booking sooner rather than later to avoid missing out. I would recommend Tillmouth and Horncliffe Beats to be in with a chance of fish this week.

 

 

The forecast this coming week, it will be another largely cloudy day today, with just a small chance of one or two brighter spells in places. It should be mostly dry, however a few patches of drizzle may drift in. Tomorrow will continue rather grey and cloudy for a time, with a few spells of drizzle around. During the afternoon, cloud will break up in a few places to give some sunny spells. High pressure will remain in charge for Thursday and Friday. Conditions will stay settled, and while there may be some cloud around in the mornings, there should be plenty of afternoon sunshine. Largely dry, but the odd spot of drizzle is possible under any cloud. Turning breezier on Saturday as the high pressure moves away, but it should stay dry with a few sunny spells.

 

As always I would like to thank all those who provide me with the information to make this report, it is very much appreciated. If you have any information or photo’s you would like included please get in touch with Martin on 07825334427 or info@taysalmonfly.co.uk

 

 

Look at what to bring for the week ahead, floating with assorted poly leaders should suffice on most beats. Red and Black Frances, Willie Gunn Flamethrower, Ghillie, Sunray Shadow, Silver Stoat’s Tail and Editor are all capable to tempting fish on around ¼”- ½” tubes, dressed flies are now worth a go more often in a size 8-14s. On the spinning front Rapala, Flying C and Toby should bring results.

 

As always come prepared and always listen to the advice of your boatman or ghillie. If you’re needing to top up your fly box ahead of your trip please check out www.taysalmonfly.co.uk



--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Total catch last week: 206 Salmon & 17 Sea Trout

Total caught so far this season: 2443 Salmon and 338 Sea Trout



As reported on Fishtweed:-
