FAA water has been very low during March and continues to drop. At present we are in summer water conditions.
Kelts were hard to come by and it is worrying for the Findhorn as to the possible poor late runs of fish last year.
Our first fish came three weeks ago, with an 8lbs fish being taken in the Newton pool.
Since then, three others have been taken with three returned, all around the 11lbs mark.
Fish are going through as a number have been taken in the private waters.
The Flood Alleviation works continue on time but will still have an influence on where we can fish this year.
Seals have been seen within the Sea pool and numbers continue to grow at the mouth of the Findhorn Bay. These numbers are being monitored but it would be beneficial if a percentage could be culled and their stomachs inspected to clear once and for all what damage they cause to our stocks.
Temperatures remain low and the river water temperature is just above that of the sea meaning that fish are reluctant to move into the river.
