Maybe it is just a coincidence but Dee & Tweed both improved significantly between Monday & Tuesday as per FishScotland site data.
Has anyone noticed a pattern between river catch returns and air pressure or temperature. Or are these similarities between rivers purely coincidence.

Taking the above thought a little further, is there any database available which shows the following:
Daily River Catch
Average of the following:
Local River Daily Atmos Pressure
Local River Daily Water Temp
Local River Daily Air temp
Local River Daily Height
Armed with this info it should be possible to deduct if there is a trend and to see what the greatest influencer is.
There's a thesis in there somewhere.

I was told today by one of the Tweed Ghillies, yes there are fish being caught in numbers at the moment because the fish are in the pools only because or the main reason being, that there is not enough water for the fish to swim through.

Can't speak for the Tweed but the Dee has a 5Y May average of around 660 fish which equates to around 25 fish per day for the month and so far the catches are no where near and I fear that this month will fall below the 5Y average just like April did.
Since Tuesday we've seen some extra cloud cover which would appear to be the reason for the increase in catches.
The disappointing thing is that the Park gauge is showing 6in which is really low for the time of year and the Salmon, if they are coming in on the tides, will start holding up just above the tidal limit until we get a rise in water.

Usually this means they back-up at Leggart T and I hear there is nothing there at the moment. |

If the river stays at the current levels for a week or two they will start to accumulate.
