The spring salmon have made an appearance in the Lewis waters with Loch Barvas producing a couple of salmon for local angler, John Mackenzie. John landed his first fish (6lb) on May 3rd whilst fishing from the shore in the Manse Bay area and followed up his initial success with a 12lb fish from the same location on Monday 7th. Garynahine also produced three salmon on Saturday 12th, two of which were caught and released by Donnie Whiteford; a 9lb fish from the Long Pool on his very first cast of the day and an 8lb sea-liced fish from Major Pool, both of which were caught on a size 10 muddler. Iain Leitch landed and returned the third fish at Garynahine, a slightly coloured 15lb hen which he hooked on a size 10 calvin's shrimp in the Boat pool.

Anglers interested in seeking out an elusive spring salmon should give Simon Scott at Grimersta (01851 621 358) or Donnie Whiteford at Garynahine (07920 096 983) a call. Fishing on both these Estates is free of charge up until June with both Fisheries having a strict Catch & Release policy for spring salmon and sea trout.
