A visit to the Upper River in midweek ( Glutt Water, Rumsdale and Long Burn) proved to be very interesting. The `Keeper told us that he had never seen so many fish and so far out the Long Burn as he had in the latter part of October which, I assume, were early spawners. There were good numbers of fish in the deeper pools on the Rumsdale and I was quite taken aback by the numbers of fish in the main Glutt Water. I can only assume that the big numbers are because the Fish Pass has constantly been running since the rain in early October. All in all, I think that we can be very , very happy with the health of the river.
