Saturday March 4th at Lower Netherdale then produced a fish around 22 lb. to Mr. G Simpson.
The following week we had fish of 7lb to D Wiseman off Avochie on Monday, an 8lb fish to R Miller again off Avochie- his first Deveron Springer, an 8lb fish to R Breakell off Ardmiddle and another two-fish reported on the Wednesday and a 10-lb. fish off Scatterty on the Thursday to R Walker.
Conditions remain favourable with levels just under a foot and stable temperatures.
