I have been feeling frustrated this week trying to predict when or where to fish (amongst forecasts of unpredictable thundery downpours). However, I have come to the conclusion I have been better staying at home, than the poor chap who got stranded today at Burnfoot on the Border Esk. Very...

Hi guys. I’m a newbie to the forum and a newbie to salmon fishing. I’m a member of 3 different clubs so can fish most of the north east Scottish rivers and take day tickets lots of other places. This is just my 2nd proper season fly fishing for salmon. I know by speaking to every fisherman I...

Perfect antidote to the Spring salmon blues. Not for everybody but------------------------ 20 including this 10lbr (all returned) keeping me amused and the rod bent constantly.:thumb: No moans about fish on the grass please, they were all quite happy to swim away. Back to thrashing the Teith...

As a boy growing up all my father and I ever did together was fish and I have heard many stories about the great days he had on many rivers which are now some of my favourite memories. Im lucky enough to have fished on a lot of these rivers over the years but never seem to have the catches he...

My last post was on the Border Esk 2018 thread, so it's time to update for 2019. On the 2018 thread we had a lot of discussion about the C&R bylaws imposed in May 2018, to confirm these still are in force on the Border Esk and Eden, I have detailed the main points on the latter pages of the...

Wee vid from a trip last month to the North Esk, very low water and bright conditions like everywhere made for tough going,but we had some good sport on the hitch, exciting stuff!

Hi all Just wondered what your thoughts are on the best location for me to catch my first salmon I am currently spinning on the free stretches on the Yorkshire Esk but have had no joy as yet that said it is still early days I have seen Naburn lock mention a few times and just wondered would I...

The vote was unanimous tonight at the Esk board AGM that the buy out Of the netting station at the Nab will go ahead and finally no more netting after this season . I think it has come at the right time because from what myself nd everyone from top to bottom are seeing is very poor numbers of...

Hi there Was hoping for some advice tactic and gear-wise for the Border Esk or Annan. In specific the association waters (scottish) cannonbie for esk etc but any information about the rivers as a whole would be much appreciated. I'm looking to go down late June. Been told the esk in particular...

Sorry about the quality of the image, blame very cold hands, however that aside, our first fish of the new season, 10 odd pound, sea lice, well done David. Taken from Facebook, looks like a loch in the background than a river

Well taken the plunge and signed up for annual permit for these two associations. They will form the backbone of my year's fishing. Allan Water new to me. Both very reasonably priced especially for a Senior. A few days on the North Esk, the Spey and maybe the Tummel will add a bit of variation...

Anyone seen a river rise as fast as the Angus South Esk did yesterday Morning? Its a near vertical graph.

Hi , I'm quite new to Salmon fishing. The rivers I fish are Tay and North & South Esk. Hopping to pick up a few pointers to improve my fishing.:) Tikka

Recently bought a 13ft which I like but it's a bit heavy for all day use. Would like to try a 12ft as it might be just right for my September trip to the North Esk. Send me a PM if you have one you are prepared to part with.
