Quite a cold July with daytime temperatures rarely exceeding 17 degrees centigrade kept the water temperatures down which will help the fishing during August and September. Although insect hatches have been spasmodic during the month, water levels have been good and grilse runs seem to be reasonable.

The Brown Trout returns in the book for the month are 1683 fish, worthy of note are the following:-

3lb 1oz & 3lb 4oz to Colin Munro on the same day

7lb to Ray Gwyn Jones

3lb 8oz to Colin Munro

3lb to Cathel Mcleod

2½lb to Colin Findlay

3lb 11oz & 3lb 6oz to Richard Franklin

2lb 9oz to Colin Munro
