May Fishing Report 2023
Over the last six years, May has always been a great month to target the last of the Spring Salmon. If we have a good April on the Whiteadder, and good numbers of fish are in the system and we get rain early May this can provide incredible Sport.

Latest Spring Fishing Report April 2023
March & April is always a very exciting time on the River Whiteadder. Especially when Big Spring Tides coincide with good water levels. It can provide incredible fishing and this is exactly what happened!
Swinging for Winter Steelhead
When I was given the chance to head to the west coast of America to swing for Winter Steelhead which would be fresh out of the Pacific Ocean I couldn’t turn the chance down!! I always say, that a Salmon is a fish of 10,000 casts!! A steelhead on a swung fly would probably be a bit more difficult, maybe a fish of 100,000 casts!!
First Spring Salmon of 2023
Well what can I say, after big spring tides and a rise in water levels I was determined to try and catch that elusive February Spring Salmon on our stretch of the Whiteadder.

Casting and Introduction Classes
After years of my mother pestering me for casting lessons and trying to fit it in around guiding abroad and guiding back home, this Spring has given me and my mam a great chance to spend some quality time together on the river and teach her the wonderful art of spey casting.
Tangling With a Big Sea Trout
The sea trout has always been in my eyes one of my favourite fish to catch, I've caught fish from all around the world, be it an ocean going torpedo like a long tail tuna or a big feisty giant trevally trying to engulf your surf candy as your run out of stripping power!
