Mount Falcon August 2016

Fishery Report – August 2016

Posted in Aug 2016

The first 10 days of August fished quite well if a little down on last season but with some good days. 10 fish were landed on the 5th mostly to the Bill Whitwell party who ended their week with 13 fish.

In the middle of the month the fishing was difficult at times with a noticeable lack of fresh fish in comparison to recent seasons, an obvious result of the grilse being early meant they were running out earlier that they had in previous seasons. Christoph Langenauer was back with us and did very well in difficult conditions landing 7 fish for his 4 days fishing commencing 9th of August, fish taken on worm and spinner. 

The last 10 days of the month accounted for just 16 fish and things had got very hard compared to normal Augusts.

Azim Currimjee did worry about this and landed his first fly caught salmon whilst fishing the Ditches from the boat. The fish fell to a faughens shrimp and weighed in at 6lbs.

The end of the moths total was a disappointing 60 fish well down on our 5 year average for August of 159 fish all a result of the fish running earlier in June.
