Latest Catches
 We aim to provide weekly fishing reports for the River Alness on this page throughout the main salmon season from July. If you catch a salmon, sea-trout or quality brown trout on any of the Alness fishings, then e-mail us the details via the enquiries page and we will include it in our catch reports.
The index provides access to weekly catch reports since July 2009. Click on the links below to read the fishing reports for earlier seasons.
Novar 28/08/10by Novar Fishings Manager - 21:39 on 01 September 2010August Runs Continue
It was another good week on Novar, though slower than the previous fortnight, with 30 salmon & grilse landed. Monday morning started with low water at +2 in, but rain from Sunday night/early Monday eventually made its way into the system and by the early hours of Tuesday morning the river was in spate at +2ft! Water levels then remained good for the rest of the week, falling to + 6in by Saturday, but conditions were very bright throughout which hindered catches.
The high water conditions of Tuesday produced the best catches of the week with 12 fish caught, amongst them 5 ‘first salmon’; Jamie Macdonald’s party accounted for 4 of these with ‘first fish’ for Simon Galante (15), Connor Bryant (15), Harriet Galante & Julia Hailes, all from Beat 6. The 5th ‘first fish’ was caught by Chris Kelting on Beat 2 who followed this up with a further 2 fish on Thursday from Beat 3. Also on Thursday, Laura Duncombe landed her first ever salmon from Beat 4.
No individual angler ‘cleaned up’, though in addition to Chris, David Wells, John Griffiths and Tim Noest all managed 3 fish apiece – Tim’s all landed on Friday.
