Submitted by admin on Sat, 07/09/2016 - 11:33 River Leven. Now into July, and a welcome weather change. The heavy overnight rain on Thursday injected some life into the system and with a significant rise in the Loch level, the gates were dropped on Friday morning. Initially the river was running high and dirty, but [...]
Submitted by admin on Sun, 06/26/2016 - 21:15 River Leven. A couple of quiet weeks with not much to report. Little rainfall has kept the Loch level down and accordingly the river at summer height, or lack of it, during the week. Hopefully we won't have to wait till the Glasgow Fair for a good [...]
Submitted by admin on Wed, 06/08/2016 - 11:15 River Leven. The continuing bright, sunny, dry weather haven't made for the best conditions....unless you want a suntan. However the gates have remained open and the river at weekend height. Rain is forecast for Friday but we'll need quite a bit or we can expect summer low [...]
Submitted by admin on Wed, 05/18/2016 - 10:42 River Leven. After a particularly wet April, summer has almost arrived and the dry bright conditions, which may please some, make for difficult fishing and lower river levels. However, Scottish Water have kept the gates open, as agreed, and we still have continual weekend height. Thanks again [...]
Submitted by admin on Tue, 04/26/2016 - 20:21 River Leven. With low temperatures and cold northerly winds the month of April has been quiet. Still a few anglers out on the river though, some finding sport with sea trout in the lower reaches and others lucky enough to land a springer. The barrage gates have [...]
Submitted by admin on Fri, 04/08/2016 - 13:54 River Leven. There can be no doubt now that the springers are in! This morning regular Leven angler Chic McLean hooked into a big fish at the Managers. Chic had already landed about a dozen kelts this season, but this was definitely no spent fish this time..... [...]
Submitted by admin on Thu, 03/24/2016 - 14:37 River Leven. With the river at an excellent height we wonder if the Easter Bunny will produce. Historically this weekend has seen a few 'first salmon of the season' off the Leven. Last year it was earlier with a 12lb springer caught on the 19th March at [...]
Submitted by admin on Sun, 08/30/2015 - 11:39 River Leven. Less than a fortnight of summer low and the river's back up with the Bonhill Pool gauge this morning sitting 7'' above closing height. Low water saw fewer anglers on the Leven but still plenty fish about, particularly grilse. 26 August, Kirk Philips (6lbs) at [...]
Submitted by admin on Wed, 08/19/2015 - 20:51 River Leven. On Monday the gates closed and the river level fell to summer low. We've had a couple of warm, dry days this week, but this evening it's rain as usual.....might not be closed for long. Still plenty of catches reported throughout the river. 3rd August, [...]
Submitted by admin on Tue, 08/04/2015 - 11:09 River Leven. The Loch level has now dropped back almost to summer average and unless there is significant rainfall it seems likely that the gates will close. This morning the marker at Bonhill was showing 3'' above closing, slightly up on yesterday but it's now a case [...]
