Opening Day
The piped march to the river.
The toast by John Mason..
More than 150 members, locals and visitors helped us celebrate the start of the season and our ownership of the Carmyle beat (see map). Once again the weather was kind and the river in good condition.
Unfortunately our oldest member 100 year old Wm Stevenson could not make the trip from Perth where he now lives. One of our young female members Emma was given the task of making the first cast on behalf of all anglers.

The day was formally inaugurated by John Mason the Glasgow Shettleston Constituency MSP who admits he is no fisherman hence the choice of Emma who did the casting honours.
Emma later caught the first fish - a very well mended kelt of 7.5 lb which she safely returned.
After the formalities a substantial number of visitors and members took to the river for a free afternoons fishing on the Carmyle beat but apart from Emma’s kelt no other fish were recorded.
Once again a very enjoyable opening day.

The excellent spring fishing continued into June and there were some superb summer salmon landed in the mid teens during the month. With continued good water levels the Grilse should provide some good sport in the coming weeks.

MCAA are starting a Casting Club to be held monthly on a Sunday morning on one of the pools. It is a good opportunity to meet some new faces, try some different balanced set ups, and practice casting in the water. Wool casts will be provided, for more information please get in touch Steve @ Mid Clyde

April seen the first Spring Salmon catches on Mid Clyde, with seven confirmed so far and several others un-confirmed. Congratulations to the anglers who were rewarded with a bar of silver. Water levels are currently low leading into may, so a few hours before dusk at your favourite pool, or an early start may see results.
Could we take this opportunity to remind all anglers that Spring Salmon stocks are vital to the survival of the Clyde run salmon, and ask anglers to be conservation minded about any fish caught. The Five Year Catch Summary is now available, Five Year Catch Return
