Comment: If anglers carry a pair of good forceps you can release most fish with out any problem.Do'nt change what is'int broken. See you in April. |

Comment: Ref Barbless hooks: My own opinion is that they be made compulsory during spring and autumn fishing. I have in the past been put off from fishing a whole day from catching kelts on standard hooks. These spent fish it must be remembered, have used considerable energy in entering the system, avoiding predation, and eventually have spawned. It is surely fair that they are out of the water as short a time as possible. However I can understand a fishermans reluctance to use barbless when they are spending so much money persuing their quarry. |

Comment: Its always a worry when Spring fishing that kelts are returned to the water with a good chance of a full recovery.I have always found that by limiting hook sizes on waddies and tubes a good pair of long nosed forceps will almost always be successful and also reduces the chance of impaling your finger,Pat !!! |

Comment: I think that barbless hooks penetrate deeper than barbed ones and in some cases do more harm....any thoughts anyone? |

Comment: Would suggest using Partridge big mouth doubles with the barbs crimped as suitable hooks for tube flies for the early season. They are relatively inexpensive compared to Loop doubles and treble hooks yet more than serve the pupose. |

Comment: Re Barbless Hooks, It might well be a good idea because yesterday I had one with a barb stuck in my finger whilst trying to release a kelt and it was very painful to say the least, imagine how the fish must feel. |

Comment: Eddie,
Welcome to the 2008 season. Viewing the video allowed me to think of our planned visit later in 2008. May all anglers experience all the best the river has to offer. A river with running fish, a delightfull environment and an organisation committed to meeting anglers needs and sending them home content. Tight lines to all. |

Comment: In reply to your request re information outside the season. Regular, although not necessarily weekly updates on spawning etc I would look forward to. River height out of season on a daily basis would not be of interest to me. Anything exceptional could be included in any updates. |

Comment: If there is not one already can I suggest including a weather web-site. The one that has recently come to my attention is www.metcheck.com It gives a comprehensive and detailed forecast of a selected area, including Caithness. How accurate it is is anyones guess, but I like it at the moment as it is forecasting rain for next week! See you then. Will you be out of hospital?

Comment: Hi - Isobel here (Eddies grizzly guts!). In relation to the weekly report of 01/09/07 - Yes Eddie was right, he will be in hospital but I think it only fair to wait until after the fishing season ends in October. It's only fair to you anglers and of course Simon Laird. And by the way, it's not grapes Eddie likes - it's prunes! |
