CASTLE FORBES ESTATE – FISHING REPORT FOR SEASON 2022
 
2022 CATCHES – MIGRATORY FISH

(a) Salmon and Grilse 11

(b) Sea Trout  1

Our average annual Salmon & Grilse catch over the last 5 seasons is 22.
 
SUMMARY OF SEASON 2022

Maybe not a season which suffered from the pandemic restrictions, but this season was blighted by very low water levels; again, not surprisingly, lack of "fishing effort" resulted.  Unfortunately, this, in part, was due to a few for our regulars having to cancel as a result of catching Covid.  Hopefully, they can make up for their disappointment in 2023!  The last two months of the season saw the bulk of the Salmon & Grilse catch.

On a positive note, some great days were recorded by those fishing for Brown Trout.  Two examples being  ... in June, from one angler: "Incredible day. 40/50 in total.  Very few small.  Approx 15 @ 3/4 lbs & 6 around 1lb"  Then in August, another caught "34 throughout the day - largest over 4lbs & 4 in excess of 2lbs"
