Frenchmans all ready. Just add water now
Minu 9 to 1ft.6 on 4 minutes
Kennel run. My favourite pool.
Earlier the river peaked about 2.83m before dropping. It's now rising again
You can hear the rocks coming down the burn
Big water from the East too
7 fish to Fen Howieson today and one to Chris Plank. Another 6 or 7 lost.
@fenhowieson landed 7 and lost 3. @plankospics landed one. Several more were lost
Now then Fen Howieson Chris Plank
First proper water since April should have given the river a good flush out
It won't take long for this shingle to work its way downstream
The reason it's over a metre on the SEPA gauge. The thunderstorm just jumped more shingle in Burnmouth backing up the water in Millers
Fish moving into the tail of the Morail this morning. We have seen bow waves on several days this week with fish moving through

That's the biggest flood of the winter so far.
Gave the Morail the first run-through of the season between 12.45pm and 1pm just in case. Water temperature of 37.9f and 1ft7 all morning which is still a bit cold
. In the spring you need to be fishing at lunchtime when the day is at its best.

The ice is starting to break up this morning
That will be that then. 1.4m to 1.7m in less than 5 minutes and still rising fast
Not seeing much bar a few hinds.
No sign of a stag just a few hinds
Update
The river rose from minus 10" to 5ft 3 then down to 2ft yesterday which was the first water for a month.
Alison Alston landed one salmon from Kennel run, lost another and had a couple of pulls there. 2 other fish were lost in the Morail.
Below is a short video of a fish been released caught on an iPhone.
