No - this is not an April's Fool Story - unfortunately only one fish has been caught on the association waters to the end of March.
It appears to have been quite a slow start on our neighbouring rivers as well, the icy cold early spring along with bitterly cold easterly winds has detered both fish and anglers it appears.
A few fish have been sneaking through as Altyre had their first fish this week along with another 2, Darnaway recorded 4 this week. There are some big tides this week so hopefully this will push a few more fish into the river.
Along with the days getting longer and the temperatures increasing, hopefully it won't be too long before another fish is caught.
The fly-tying sessions have now finished and will resume again in October - further details will be announced nearer the time.
I would just like to pass on a big thank-you to Jake Fraser for passing on his expertise at the vice and explaining the techniques to a very enthusiastic audience.
