FAA waters have been fishing very well over the last few weeks with fresh fish being seen and taken in god numbers.
Our visitor’s have fared very well and our regular French anglers have had a good fishing holiday. Visitor numbers are up from this time last year and continue to arrive even although we are now into the latter stages of the season.
High water over the last two weeks saw some really good catches with some large size Salmon among them.
As we move to the last few weeks of the season, fish are becoming stale and red but there are still lots of fresh fish about, some in double figs.
For some unknown reason, this has been one of the better Sea Trout seasons with the hardy late night anglers picking up fish in the 2.5-4lb mark. This is big fish for the FAA waters.
Mackerel abound just of the estuary and so with it comes the seals, some of our fish with the tell tale signs of seal marks.
A few fish have been recorded as having Red Vent syndrome and this has been passed on to the Fisheries Commission.
Work will commence on the Findhorn Flood Alleviation measures in September with most of the work being out with the water’s edge. We wait until next season to see what problems FAA will face with this major project
