The summer fishing has been much improved
over previous years. For the first time in three
years we had a proper grilse run. Many went through
very quickly, but if you were in the right place
at the right time the fishing was great. Bob McIntyre
recorded five grilse in one evening in the space
of half an hour.
At time of writing (end August) there are loads
of fish in the Perth
Town Water. The river is low, but the next
spate should bring them in. We have been taking
daily river height measurements. These clearly
show that the best summer fishing has come in
the middle of a spate. See the Charts.
It is also very pleasing to see so many fish going
back. |
