River Tweed River Report Week Ending 28th September 2019 - Tay Salmon Fly

River Tweed River Report Week Ending 28th September

Well last week was all about the weather and with daily rises and dirty water near all week conditions couldn’t have been much trickier with the river been fly only now, the Rapala would surely have accounted for a fish on 2 with the dirty water conditions. Seems to be a few river fish been seeing splashing about with odd fresh ones amongst them. If they are coming we should see something this week with a much more settled forecast ahead.

The fish were pretty evenly scattered about the river with above Kelso 22 fish were reported, between Kelso and Coldstream 23 fish were reported and below Coldstream 23 fish were reported.

Fishing at Boleside in very challenging conditions at the end of the week Mr Per Villhelmson was rewarded for his efforts landed 2 fish weighing 12lbs and 5lbs. Mr Nick Williams also had success landing 2 grilse. Fishing at Upper North Wark Mr Terry Pitron landed a lovely wee sea trout on a Cascade tube fly from the Middle Island. Fishing at Lower Birgham on Tuesday Mr Mike Heaps had success.

On the River Till, no fish were reported.

78 Salmon and 16 Sea Trout, with the best fish for the week was 18lb Salmon caught on the Ladykirk beat.

Hendersyde Head Boatman Ketch reports “a tough frustrating week with an up and down river and very little opportunity of fishing with any confidence. We managed to land a couple of salmon and although they weren't that fresh were a welcome bit of sport.”

Lower Birgham Head Boatman Mr Tom Davis reports “This last week was one of very unsettled water heights and colours. Only one fish landed this week on Tuesday by Mr Mike Heaps. Plenty of fish and fresh ones seen as well at the beginning of the week. But the high water level and dirty water made it tough getting onto the water to try and find them. With the water level dropping over the weekend, this next week is one of high optimism hoping some fresh autumn fish have found their way up the system. There is a lot of questions on the runs of fish entering the river. Will our questions be answered? Only time will tell. Tight lines Tom.”

On Upper North Wark, grubby road wash water followed by unsettled brown much with almost daily rises. Great effort made by the rods and Mr Terry Pitron landed a Sea Trout from the Middle Island.

Lees Head Boatman Mr Malcolm Campbell reports “A slow week with unsettled water again. Best fish 9lb the rest smaller grilse. There were quite a few fish moving through the Temple on Friday morning but I didn't see any fresh ones. We'll see next week if this water "brings them in"

Berwick and District Angling Association Secretary Dave Cowan reports “After a long spell of low water we were pleased to see some rain this week. One salmon around 8 lb came off Clarabad on Wednesday then the heavy rain over Wednesday night saw the Whiteadder rise with most of the coloured water coming in from the Blackadder at Allanton. Two sea trout about 3lb were banked from beat 1 prior to the water rising to over two ft on Friday night. Levels began to fall over Saturday and river dropping in nicely for Monday as long as the rain stays to the south as expected.”

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 and Fin and Game in Kelso 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.

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.

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. If you would like more information please check out the link https://www.crabtreeandcrabtree.com/properties/saddler-cottage/

The week ended with the level at Sprouston 2ft and the water temperature is 54.

Looking at the availability for this coming week I would recommend Boleside, Bemersyde and Lower Birgham beats should have a chance of some action this week.

The forecast this coming week, once any mist and fog patches clear, tomorrow morning will be bright with some early sunshine. However, cloud will tend to build in the afternoon with the chance of a few spots of rain later. Rain on Monday night may linger for a time on Tuesday morning, leaving a largely dry day with bright or sunny spells but it will feel chilly with a northerly breeze. A frost is possible overnight. After a cold start, Wednesday will be dry and bright with sunny spells. Thursday then looks likely to become more unsettled as rain and freshening winds push in from the west.

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 aheads fishing, floating lines with assorted poly leaders should suffice on most places with Junction Shrimp, Willie Gunn Snaelda, Rogie and Red Frances, Cascade are all capable to tempting fish on 1” – 1.5” tubed or dressed flies in size 6s.

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

River Tweed River Report Week Ending 21st September 2019 - Tay Salmon Fly

River Tweed River Report Week Ending 21^st September

Well summer returned this week with a bang but it’s hopefully going to change with this rain that’s forecast this week will give us a decent rise and hopefully some fresher fish entering the river. There are reports of some fresh fish further up the country we can only hope that they are heading down the coast and some autumn sport can be had. Water levels dropped in this week with it nearing summer level in most areas, bright sunshine midweek and easy winds on Saturday didn’t help with the catches. Conditions should be better for fishing this week just hope that East wind doesn’t blow too much.

Above Kelso 74 fish were reported, with the Mertoun Beats 18 (11 on Middle) having the best of the fishing. Fishing at Middle Pavilion Professor Bateman landed 4 and Mr Guy Nardin on his annual trip from France landed 2.

Between Kelso and Coldstream 64 fish were reported with the fish scattered about a few beats with Birgham Dub 10, Hendersyde 9 and Lower North Wark 10 having the best of the fishing. Fishing on Upper North Wark, brothers David and Mark Lyon landed their first fish from the beat with David landing a 10lber on a Willie Gunn Snaelda and Mark landed a 6lber on one of the ghillies flies.

Below Coldstream 30 fish were reported, with Ladykirk 14 having the best of the fishing.

On the River Till, no fish were reported.

190 Salmon and 16 Sea Trout, with the best fish for the week was 20lb Salmon caught on the Birgham Dub beat.

Middle Pavilion Head Ghillie Mr Steven Charlton reports “Seven fish for the week, 5 on Monday including 4 for Professor Bateman, and then 2 for Mr Guy Nardin on his annual trip from France”

Bemersyde Head Ghillie Mr Ian Farr reports “Good water heights last week for the beat even with the beer colour we managed 6 fish for the week could of been more but we were lightly fished middle part of the week small pods of fish moving up the river last week most of the fish where coloured but we did see some fresher fish mixed in amongst them will need some water by the end of week so hoping for a flood now to keep the fish moving up the river”

Hendersyde Head Boatman Ketch reports “It was defiantly a week of two halves. The first three days we had quite a bit of sport and landed 9 fish. A mixture of salmon and grilse. Then the high pressure came in and the bright sun made the pools go quiet. All we could manage was a couple of pulls from Thursday onwards. Autumn must be round the corner though because the leaves are starting to drop and my visiting swallows and house Martins have all gone. Hopefully we'll get a wee freshen up of the river next week as it's getting a bit low now”

Lower Birgham Head Boatman Mr Tom Davis reports “A slightly frustrating week just gone. In the first 3 days we touched quite a lot of fish, but they were very reluctant to keep hold of the fly. We did manage to land 3 and one of which was a very fresh little grilse. Then the hot sunny weather came and the takes dried up, not a touch. At some time every day there was a flurry of activity and every fish in the river seems to jump and leap about.... then nothing. Not even a pull. Hopefully the weather cooling this week and the chance of a bit of rain. The fish will hopefully become active again and get on the take. Tight lines, Tom”

On Upper North Wark, water level down to below 0” for us. A few fish splashing about but challenging to tempt. Managed 2 for the week.

Lees Head Boatman Mr Malcolm Campbell reports “A lovely week to be out and about on the river. Team Gould were on the Lees for the week and started well getting some fresh/clean fish and Johanna Green losing a decent sized fish in the Glide. Things went downhill as the weather improved and fewer fish were being seen, 7 landed for the week doesn't reflect the effort put in, but everyone enjoyed the week, even Angus who fell in and got soaked the next day, and the weather was great if not for fishing. 

Berwick and District Angling Association Secretary Dave Cowan reports “Whiteadder at 2 inches and badly in need of rain. Six fish from lower beat since August 20th despite low levels so a bit of water to get them up would be a great help”

Hawick Angling Club reports “The fishing on all the lochs has been very quiet over the past week. There has been some fish rising but they are very difficult to catch. The lochs have cooled down considerably and consequently the fish are feeding deeper. Buzzers have been worth a go, fished a bit deeper. Sedges at the last hour, if the temperature does not drop too much and are also a good bet. The river has dropped to summer level virtually spoiling any chance of salmon fishing. Tickets can be purchased from the usual outlets. Tight Lines”

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 and Fin and Game in Kelso 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.

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.

Suitable for fishers and families this lovely cottage is very handily placed for fishing the Lower and Bottom Tweed beats. If you would like more information please check out the link https://www.crabtreeandcrabtree.com/properties/saddler-cottage/

The week ended with the level at Sprouston 5” and the water temperature is 54.

Looking at the availability for this coming week I would recommend Rutherford and Upper Hendersyde and Ladykirk beats should have a chance of some action this week.

The forecast this coming week, mainly dry and partly cloudy through most of the day, with sunny spells and just a few isolated showers. Through the evening, heavy rain and strong winds will move in from the south again. Tuesday is expected to be a cloudy, wet and, at times, windy day as weather fronts move slowly east across the area, bringing heavy and persistent rain. With low pressure continuing to be centred close to the northwest of the UK, a further showery and potentially windy day is expected on Wednesday. Wet and windy again on Thursday weather fronts sweep in from the west again.

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 aheads fishing, floating lines with assorted poly leaders should suffice on most places with Gledswood Shrimp, Willie Gunn Snaelda, Rogie and Red Frances are all capable to tempting fish on ¾” - 1” tubed or dressed flies in size 8 and 10. If the forecasted rain comes may need bigger flies!

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

River Tweed River Report Week Ending 14th September 2019 - Tay Salmon Fly

River Tweed River Report Week Ending 14^th September

Well this week signalled the end of the spinning for the season with the river fly only from the 15^th September until the end of the season. I would imagine a fair drop in the catches come next week unless there is a sudden influx of fresh fish into the system. The catches did remain consistent again this week even with the frequent small rises throughout the week. The week ahead looks a bit more settled so should be better fishing conditions. Strong winds towards the end of the week made for tricky casting conditions.

Above Kelso 103 fish were reported, with the Dryburgh Beats 18 and Rutherford 21 having the best of the fishing.

Between Kelso and Coldstream 107 fish were reported with the fish scattered about a few beats with Sprouston 30 and the Lees 16 having the best of the fishing. Fishing at the Lees, Matt Randall with pals Edward Evans, Stephen Marsh Smith and Clive Roberts here for three days. 7 fish landed on Monday, none of them brand new but more of unpolished silver, all on floaters with various sink tips, best fish 14lbs from the Cauld. Matt Randall who’d just arrived jumped in to the Cauld boat and promptly had a 5lber. Paul and Clive had more luck down at Learmouth getting two fish weighing 10lbs and 14lbs. Chris major or Craig Scorer as they both had a fish this morning one from the Iron Gate and one from the Glide both were coloured. This afternoon Chris was in to them again getting a fresh 12lb hen from the Iron Gate

Below Coldstream 41 fish were reported, with Tillmouth 12 having the best of the fishing.

On the River Till, a bit better this week with 3 Salmon at Redscar and Upper Tindal, 2 Salmon and 1 Sea Trout at Lower Tindal and 1 Salmon at Flodden were reported.

290 Salmon and 29 Sea Trout, with the best fish for the week was 20lb Salmon caught on the Junction beat.

Hendersyde Head Boatman Ketch reports “Another week of small lifts making the river unsettled most days but we managed to fish the fly all week and were rewarded with a respectable 12 fish, the biggest being 17 lb. The highlight of the week was when a long time Hendersyde Fisher Dr Mike Vaughan had a hatrick on Thursday taking his family rod at Hendersyde to 300 and his personal total of UK salmon to over 500.

Lower Birgham Head Boatman Mr Tom Davis reports “An unsettled week last week. The water came up and down a bit and the weather was tough some days to say the least! Felt like the wind was 100 mph on Saturday! But we did end up landing double figures of salmon. And lost a fair few others. One really positive from last week was getting 2 very fresh fish one with long tailed sea lice on. Really nice to see something super fresh. More action was had towards the end of the week so fingers crossed next week starts off in the same vain! Fingers crossed for more fish!!

On Upper North Wark, a decent start to the week with a couple of grilse landed and a few lost, unfortunately losing fish continued to be the trend for the week.

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 and Fin and Game in Kelso 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 week ended with the level at Sprouston 11” and the water temperature is 54.

Looking at the availability for this coming week I would recommend Rutherford and Upper Hendersyde beats should have a chance of some action this week. If you fancy testing out the new fishing hut at Upper North Wark there is some availability towards the end of the week.

The forecast this coming week, it will be fine with good sunny spells and just patchy cloud. Feeling a little warmer in gentle westerly winds. Early fog patches will clear on Tuesday to leave a mainly dry day with spells of sunshine. However, cloud will thicken later in the day, bringing some spells of rain and drizzle for a time overnight. Wednesday may be cloudy for a time with the chance of some patchy rain, though some brightness is possible later. Thursday will be a drier but cloudier day.
