Submitted by admin on Fri, 09/13/2013 - 20:58 River Leven. The gates have been open all week giving good fishing conditions, however today they were raised again to weekend level. Heavy rain is forecast for the beginning of next week, so we can hope they'll be dropped on Monday. A few grilse landed, mainly off [...]
Submitted by admin on Tue, 09/03/2013 - 19:10 River Leven. Another quiet week on the Leven but it goes without saying that this year's weather has been a complete contrast to last year.

Submitted by admin on Tue, 08/06/2013 - 20:35 River Leven. July’s dry, hot weather had the expected effect on the Lomond system with very few salmon coming to the net.

Submitted by admin on Thu, 07/04/2013 - 18:27 River Leven. Last week we mentioned that John McGrogan had a rather unfortunate experience while releasing a salmon back to the river.

Submitted by admin on Thu, 06/20/2013 - 21:06 River Leven. Unfortunately the rain at the weekend didn't have much effect on the system, certainly not enough to top up the Loch level. The gates have been closed since Monday and the river is at summer low. Not much activity reported, which is not unusual at [...]
