The main run of Salmon occurs from June to September with fish up to 20 lbs being caught. As with Sea-Trout the best runs and fishing is when the river is in flood and during Spring tides.

Sea-Trout numbers have been steadily increasing over recent years. The main run of Sea-Trout is from early June to the last week of July. Sea-Trout caught on the Estate average 2-5 lbs.

For Salmon: spinning, worm, and fly are the favourite methods. During periods of high water the fly is the most effective.

For Sea-Trout: worm on light tackle and spinners are recommended for day time fishing. The best of the Sea-Trout fishing is from dusk to early dawn on the fly.
