Middle of Spring

Roman Moser Ballon Caddis

Well we have a month left in our spring fishing and it has been very slow So far only the report of the one spring fish previously reported
 Anglers are out and about giving it there all we have had a bit of rain ,but a lack of fish being caught,although some lost and some possible sightings
 Hopefully May will show an upturn in this and some lucky anglers can even enter our spring stock enhancement program ran with the Glasgow angling centre

Black Dog

 There have been reports for a wee while on some grey seals up the river as much as five and a half miles,above the tidal weir at the Hoover pool in Cambuslang. any pictures or sightings let us know please
 Dr Wullie Yoemans now has the new fish counter installed at Blantyre fish pass which he says is in a commission and proving stage just now but a usefull tool for reaserching the fish runs,
