Upper North Wark Salmon Fishing Season Review 2019

A Productive Season Comes To An End.

With the 2019 Salmon Fishing Season now closed we can look back and reflect on our season. Catches were our best since 2014 and the New Fishing Lodge was completed and fully functioning with the snagging list near completed.

On the fishing front, the season got off to a great start with Mr Mike Graham landing the first Springer of the river on Opening Day which won the Tweed Trophy for 2019. Overall the spring was reasonable with 20 Springers and 20 Sea Trout landed during this period. Our best fish of the spring was a superb 15lb fish landed on the 23rd February by Mr Stuart Campbell on a Black and Yellow from the Snipe. During March which is on paper our best spring month we lost 11 days due to dirty water, this cost us a few fish during the month.

As fate would have it we closed the beat down on the 1st June to allow for the building of the new fishing lodge which so happened to coincide with a good wet summer with plenty of water to fish in and a reasonable number of fish around. Hopefully get similar water conditions next season. The Fishing Lodge was completed towards the end of August and we had an official opening on the 9th of September which was well attended and renowned wildlife artist and Tweed fisher Mrs Clare Haggas done the honours cutting the ribbon.

August, September and October the fishing was quite consistent with some lovely grilse and a mixture of fresh/old salmon been caught before November was pretty much a wash out!

65% of our fish were caught on the Fly with Mr Hugh Newton landed our biggest fish of the season with a 20lb fish from the Snipe on a Rogie caught on the 30th of September.

We will be working on the beat website over the winter updating a few pages and creating a new page for hospitality packages on the beat.

Our 2020 Fishing Availability is live now and if you wish to book or discuss any dates feel free to give Martin a call on 07825334427 or email 

Finally I would thank to thank you all for you custom and company on the riverbank and we look forward to welcoming you back to the beat in 2020.

Hope you all have a lovely Christmas and Tight Lines for the New Year
