Week Commencing 6th July 2020
The lockdown has been eased enough to allow travel from most parts of the U.K. and Europe, so I can start reporting again on the river, I will restrict my comments to the numbers of fish and putting up some pictures!
There might be a little rain at the start and the end of the week, but it is mainly overcast, with some sunny periods. The tides start building again from Tuesday. The river should continue to drop away, at least the blackness of last week is clearing.
Catches:
Gordon Castle were in the mid-seventies.
Orton has had a last-minute cancelation and have some availability early next week with some restrictions, phone Catherine in the office for details.
Rothes, Mel Mcdonald sent me this photo of his first of the seson, when I was not reporting.

Easter Elchies. Good steady numbers all week, with a final total of 23 and the same number lost. Of the fish caught over 50% were grilse. The junior section of the party once again keeping up a strong batting average.

Wester Elchies finished in the high teens.
Laggan, James Bleaney’s party had an excellent week with twenty three salmon and grilse and four sea trout. As usual there were plenty of high jinks, David Barker AKA Coco was so jealous of my head of hair, he hasn’t had hair since his teens!
I cannot understand how a fully electric car can be good for the environment when you require a tow truck to follow you to ensure you can get to your destination. Apparently the charging points in Aberlour were out of action!

I still crave a report on the sand martins.
Sand martins are old hat, I had a spotted flycatcher nesting in the garden this year.
Your reports and the time and effort are appreciated Malcolm, I always read them with great interest, thank you and keep it going. Hope all well.
Great to have you back
Peter
Good to have your reports back!
I think some of those folks should be given some advice on their fish handling skills if catch and release is being practised.
On a positive note great to see your reports are back to normal Malcolm and that there are some fine fish and catches being made!
Great to have you back and great to see photos to whet ones appetite to get on the river.
Keep up your great reports?
We have really missed these reports
