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 [...]
Submitted by admin on Mon, 07/27/2015 - 18:54 Last week the Scottish Government announced the commencement of a 28 day consultation period with regards to the licensing system for the regulation of the killing of wild salmon.

Submitted by admin on Sat, 07/18/2015 - 11:24 River Leven. No summer this year...so far, but the Leven anglers aren't complaining.

Low water is usually the norm and with the spring and early summer runs having passed through, the arrival of grilse is awaited. However, this season the unseasonal weather has ensured good conditions on the [...]

Submitted by admin on Sun, 06/21/2015 - 10:21 River Leven. The river level has remained fairly constant over the past fortnight but without significant rainfall the Loch level has dropped. The barrage was raised partially on Thursday, still allowing good fishing conditions, but we can expect summer low conditions very soon. However the best run [...]
Submitted by admin on Sun, 06/07/2015 - 07:20 River Leven. After our last report it was expected that the the weather would change, gates close and the system descend into the same period of drought we have experienced over the past few years. Not so! The completely unseasonal weather recently has brought about what can [...]
Submitted by admin on Sat, 05/16/2015 - 12:17 River Leven Great spring sport on the Leven. The gates are still open and with more rain forecast we should get at least another week of excellent conditions. The top end of the river fishing very well. Good quality spring salmon coming to the fly, lure and [...]
