In 2007 , we had 57 salmon landed an increase of 157% on the year before.
The biggest fish was caught on the second of july by brian smith weighing 11 pounds and six ounces using a bafter and dabbler fly. The numbers of sea trout increased dramtically. 234 sea trout were landed which gives reason to be optimistic for the future.

 1 new boat was added this year and looking forward to reinvesting in new equipment over the coming years.
