River Tweed 2021

[Salad Dodger]

What a stinking drain the Tweed is though... seriously it's been running dirty for over a week now.

Yip, and it’s going to get another top up on Tuesday/Wednesday

And a heart like a lion

I was worried I might be over gunned and thought about a switch rod and a micro Francis

Joking aside, it looks very doubtful for anyone wanting to wet a line next week

 

[Salad Dodger]

Good to see the upper river at least, back inside the banks and with no more rain forecast, hopefully anglers lower down will be able to wet a line.

Well done, Nice fish!
Which beat? Lower Brigham?
Going to be late April or early May before I get to cast a line.
Tweed may have to wait until next season for me.

Well done, and another off the Lees today,I hope they letting locals fish at a reduced price or freebies,
Half a dozen off the Lees this week, The catches on Tweedbeats are spread out as far as Middle Mertoun.

Sooner travel is allowed the better so I can finally wet a line ?

I have the obligatory video but it's not very good as I missed the take and in this cold water they don't really fight well.

Thanks for that. My March trip to the Tweed has been knocked on the head but it is good to see someone playing a fish.

Fish seen caught at Walkerburn this morning, a bar of silver according to a very reliable source, one from Holylee last week, another lost at Ashiestiel.

 

[Horsbrugh]

There has been a bit concern recently regarding water clarity on much of the Tweed. This is the official update after SEPA investigated.

The River July edition

 

[Horsbrugh]

Have you had much rain in the Peebles area today, as the rainfall radar shows rain/showers all day ?

It’s been quite heavy at times today but not continuous rain, more regular showers. There does seem to be a fair bit forecast though

 

[Horsbrugh]

Proper rain at the top end today. River rising nicely now.
