silver ones as well. Have seen reds that were cut during the period we
stoped fishing. Water was +8 for last couple of weeks rising to +30 on
the 18th of feb. Only heard of one other fish caught off moriston, making
a total of 3 of the whole system]]> http://www.dochfoursalmonfishing.co.uk/index.php?entry=entry120219-111910 Dochfour Salmon Fishing Syndicate Sun, 19 Feb 2012 11:19:10 GMT http://www.dochfoursalmonfishing.co.uk/index.php?entry=entry111009-192646
With only 82 fish in the book the last week will have to produce something unexpected for us to break the 100 mark.]]> http://www.dochfoursalmonfishing.co.uk/index.php?entry=entry111009-192646 Dochfour Salmon Fishing Syndicate Sun, 09 Oct 2011 18:26:46 GMT http://www.dochfoursalmonfishing.co.uk/index.php?entry=entry111002-104253
River has dropped again overnight Saturday and this morning (Sunday) almost looks fishable!!]]> http://www.dochfoursalmonfishing.co.uk/index.php?entry=entry111002-104253 Dochfour Salmon Fishing Syndicate Sun, 02 Oct 2011 09:42:53 GMT http://www.dochfoursalmonfishing.co.uk/index.php?entry=entry110925-124411
No sign of anything fresh and all fish landed on the dark side. Water was +17 on the Monday rising to +34 by Thursday droping to +23 by Saturday.

With better weather forecast for next week the river should fall to a more fishable hight - lets hope there are some fish to fish for....]]> http://www.dochfoursalmonfishing.co.uk/index.php?entry=entry110925-124411 Dochfour Salmon Fishing Syndicate Sun, 25 Sep 2011 11:44:11 GMT http://www.dochfoursalmonfishing.co.uk/index.php?entry=entry110918-122351
Reports from the rest of the river are not a lot better.

Total for the year so far stands at 70.]]> http://www.dochfoursalmonfishing.co.uk/index.php?entry=entry110918-122351 Dochfour Salmon Fishing Syndicate Sun, 18 Sep 2011 11:23:51 GMT http://www.dochfoursalmonfishing.co.uk/index.php?entry=entry110911-091200
The Grilse run has still not arrived in any numbers and while some of the fish landed where fresh - some were starting to show colour. With the total in the book just over 60 - the season is proving to be one of the beats leanest on record.

Final details from the Trust with regards to renewal of the lease have now been sent out and I would ask everyone to reply to me as quickly as they can. ]]> http://www.dochfoursalmonfishing.co.uk/index.php?entry=entry110911-091200 Dochfour Salmon Fishing Syndicate Sun, 11 Sep 2011 08:12:00 GMT http://www.dochfoursalmonfishing.co.uk/index.php?entry=entry110904-195436
On the rest of the river, Ness Castle seems to be doing the best with fish being taken from the Black Stream in particular. Ness Side is not doing much better than us and while it is difficult to get numbers from the IAC they seem to be doing nothing special. Nearly all of the fish being caught are salmon - the grilse just do not seem to have turned up.

Netting in the firth has now finished - but as they were catching next to nothing this will not make a great deal of difference.]]> http://www.dochfoursalmonfishing.co.uk/index.php?entry=entry110904-195436 Dochfour Salmon Fishing Syndicate Sun, 04 Sep 2011 18:54:36 GMT http://www.dochfoursalmonfishing.co.uk/index.php?entry=entry110829-084244
The water never moved much during day hanging around +4+5 but most mornings there were signs of a big rise during the night - up to 8inches A few fish seen most days but very poor for time of year. The total for the year has yet to break 50 - from the records I hold, which go back to 1980, I cannot see a worse year so far. The rest of the river is not doing any better.

The weather has turned very cold over the weekend - I would not be surprised if there was snow on the hills last night. Perhaps that will help.......

The rest of the river is also quiet - as are the nets. The IAC members got about 30 fish last week - not good for the number fishing. I have heard reports of one fish of 27lb taken (and released) from the club waters. Most of the fish still seem to be salmon - and this is the case through most of Scotland. The ASFB have issued note to say that the grilse run is at best very late.]]> http://www.dochfoursalmonfishing.co.uk/index.php?entry=entry110821-115245 Dochfour Salmon Fishing Syndicate Sun, 21 Aug 2011 10:52:45 GMT http://www.dochfoursalmonfishing.co.uk/index.php?entry=entry110814-191824
River is back down a good bit today (Sunday 14th)

So all in all - anther crazy week of weather and no grilse run to speak of as yet.
The Conon does have some fish as does the Beauly. The Thurso had about 300 fish last week - so we can only keep hoping that the Ness fish are out there somewhere.]]> http://www.dochfoursalmonfishing.co.uk/index.php?entry=entry110814-191824 Dochfour Salmon Fishing Syndicate Sun, 14 Aug 2011 18:18:24 GMT http://www.dochfoursalmonfishing.co.uk/index.php?entry=entry110807-140511
Three fish - David Macloud had a 9 pound fish from Burnmouth; Tom Leslie had best fish of season so far with a 18 pound fish from Weir and Gordon Fleetwood had a 10 pound fish from Burnmouth. Water stayed around the +2 mark all week

Week Ending 6 August 2011:

Three more fish last week. Grant had two - 11 pounds from Burnmouth and 13 pounds from Weir & Melvin Smith had a 12 pounds fish from Weir. Water started off at -2 droping to -6 back up to 0 by Saturday.

After another bout of exceptionally heavy rain overnight on Saturday night there is yet more local flooding and the river is rising and uncharacteristically dirty. If this rain has also fallen in the West the river will big again by tomorrow.

Reports from river in the North suggest that there is a good run of grilse with the fish progressively running the rivers down from Thurso to Conon as the week progressed. Lets hope that they are coming here and that the weather will not spoil that.

The river has continues to fall over the weekend as the sun has shone - and it would seem that summer has actually arrived!!]]> http://www.dochfoursalmonfishing.co.uk/index.php?entry=entry110725-094652 Dochfour Salmon Fishing Syndicate Mon, 25 Jul 2011 08:46:52 GMT
