Coming towards the end of the season, water conditions have been good for members and visitors throughout the month.
From information given, it would appear that those anglers prepared to spend time on the water were well rewarded. Some members did extremely well with fish being taken every day whilst others did not see any fish on their outings.
Some large Salmon were among those running through and a nice 18lb fish was returned from the Gordon's pool. This pool has been fishing well most of the season.
With the nights changing, darkness prevents most anglers having more than a couple of hours after supper and the Sea Trout brigade have little or no chance with cold weather around.
Some very nice Sea Trout have been seen in Findhorn Bay and as last year, the best of the fishing there appears to be at the end of the season. Mackerel has been very scarce and this in turn has had an effect on the running Grilse. Rather better news is that very large shoals of sand eels are positioned just outside the bay and this will help feed good numbers of predators including seals.
We await the FAA returns in a month but from rumour control, this year commenced slowly but picked up during the summer and autumn.
