By the 3rd day, it was clear that a few fresh fish were making their way up in the darkness, targeting them in sunken pools was a real challenge. Ross waters are often amongst the first to produce fish and anglers can fish every day of the week and are not limited to one day.

Stubborn 'educated' salmon will usually completely ignore a fly unless you're able to swim your fly within a few inches of their noses to force a territorial attack. There were confirmed reports of two large Jerry's caught last year's opening day both in upper teens so there's always a change from the first day, especially lower down the River. The pool and the lower ‘beat’ or area around the mouth of the Loch are reserved for Garynahinetenants and they were fishing on the day I had a go. We will also be showcasing the work of Charles Jardines Fishing for Schools charity and the The Wild Carp Trust.

And yet the Angling reports from that river have usually been about fish caught on the mepps as I believe that river has a muddy colour that only in really low water has the clarity to fish the fly at night. Its a magical place, with very fishy looking places every few miles and no doubt hundreds more that only locals will know about.A likely spot, shallow rock shoals at Loch Barvas, with the famous Green bus almost visible in the distance. Even now there is a good chance of catching a 20lb salmon in the waters at Ross but there must be an intel gathering system to put anyone who can go fishing on the water at the right time. There's far too many water condition permutations to consider for there to be a right or wrong on this topic. The WSF event is pleased to be associated with the International Year of the Salmon in our mutual efforts to preserve wild salmon around the world.
