With the warmer weather the water levels have dropped resulting in good low water conditions for the FAA. However, with the good news comes some bad. The water is very peaty and coloured probably from the Divie source which meets the Findhorn at Randolph's Leap.
There has been good runs of Grilse and at last some members and visitors have been in amongst the fish. It would appear that the early risers are the ones having the best fishing and a few have been caught at last light. Grilse are seemingly in good condition but range in size from just two and a half pounds up to the usual five pounds.
Most pools have fish being seen in them but the Stoney and Broom seem to be the hot spots. Megs pool has also seen some action so hopefully this will continue until the seasons end.
The cold and coloured water does not auger well for the night brigade and although there are good sized Sea Trout in the system, very few are coming to the net.
Visitors are increasing with the better weather and four anglers from the winning bids of the Wild Trout Auction visit at the end of July.
Seals remain active in the Findhorn Bay and with the mackerel return, this hopefully will keep them away from our stocks.
