Were there no Salmon on the Tweed in 2009 ?

Running Salmon

Salmon at Selkirk

Yes a genuine salmon on the Tweed System!

Believe part of the media , some of the fishing professionals and the like and you may be mistaken into thinking that the Tweed saw no salmon in 2009.

My how we like to moan and bleat at times

First the spring was rubbish. Then we had 5 months with virtually no rain

Finally we had another dry period inĀ the prime month of September

OK there were record floods in November but that is only a variation on what normally happens

So I am guessing now but I reckon that about 9000 salmon were caught on the Tweed in 2009. Down yes Disaster no Cause for concern yes for spring fishing

Apart from the Dee which had an excellent spring it was pretty well business as usual for salmon but the headlines are dire

If we continue to knock the Tweed then we will deserve fewer fishers, empty hotelsĀ  less jobs and a reduction in the number of people discovering that the Scottish Borders is an unsung inland island of beauty and heritage

So get real and tell it as it is
