Friday 26th July
Bluestone Fishery – River level 1ft this morning, fishing can be resumed. After a very dry month with 0″ on the gauge for 4 weeks, we have had local rain in the last 36 hours. There’s still some weed to get washed out but it’s great to see something on the gauge and some flow back into the pools.

Join us at 11am on FishPals Facebook live #fishpalJoin us on FishPal’s Facebook at 11am this morning - our guest is 3 times world Spey casting champion and rod designer Scott Mackenzie @mackenzie_dtxWell done Eugene last week he caught spring fish off the River TYNE and this week a fish of a lifetime off the River FINDHORN. Findhorn “Springers” tend to be big and agressive taking fish with our best salmon in recent years weighing around 34 lbs’ says Ian Neale. James and Eugene fished Altyre Estate. Altyre Estate is situated on the Lower Findhorn River and is about two miles below the Poolie Falls at Sluie on Darnaway and some five miles above the tidal sea pool on the Forres Angling Association water. The Altyre Estate fishing is divided into two beats, fishing off the right hand bank. Altyre offers just over two and a half miles of salmon and sea trout fishing for up to four rods. There are some fourteen named pools winding through magnificent red sandstone outcrops. The Upper Beat is fished from Soldiers' Hole Pool down to the Scur Pool. The Lower Beat is fished from the Roan Pool down to the Lime Kilns Pool. The river here is easy to fish and therefore, perfect for both the beginner and the more experienced casters. The Altyre fishing also offers a good mix of high and low water pools on both beats. There is good vehicular access to most of the pools, which makes it suitable to anglers of more limited mobility. This beat has fished consistently well over the Spring months from March through to June. James Stokoe said “Biggest salmon I’ve ever seen or netted.” “I’ve can happily say that I’ve just experienced the greatest Angling moment and achievement that I will probably have in my lifetime”. “It was an absolute honour to be part of this catch of a lifetime, and it couldn’t of happened to a more deserving person. At 5 pm Eugene and myself landed this Incredible Findhorn spring salmon, something neither of us thought we would ever see in our lifetime, and I had the pleasure of netting this fish”. #fishing #flyfishing #findhorn #fishpal #fishfindhorn #flyfishingscotland #gonefishing21 salmon and 3 sea trout so far, including this lovely one off Junction, on a quiet week on Tweed. If you can’t go fishing during these worrying times, doing something that will keep your mind positive is important for your mental well being.
