River Tweed Fishing Report Week 1st-6th July 2024

The latest fishing report for the River Tweed week 1-6th July
Junction Beat: Finished the last week of June with 18 fish taking their total to 142, their 2nd best June on record. This week the river has been slowly falling and as I write this report (Sunday 7th) Kelso has witnessed some intermittent heavy thunder storms and torrential rain, the type that runs over the gutter!
Sprouston Beat: 6 fish on Monday, 5 on Wednesday to Rober Jolly’s party. Rods have caught a total of 93 fish this season, marking their second-best June on record.
Birgham Dub: Fish caught on most days last week taking their total this year to 85.
Carham Beat: Good water levels and water temperature mid-high 50s. Fish have been seen moving through the beat and rods have caught 4 sea trout and 3 salmon. The Matthewson party fished Tuesday, Colin caught a 7lb salmon and 5lb sea trout and his wife Jane a 10lb salmon. The beat hosted a ladies charity day on Saturday raising funds for the Tweed Foundation, and introduced women to fishing. Thank you Lee and Peter for your excellent tuition and generosity. Recommended flies: small, half-inch brass tubes, Snealda’s etc. The weather this coming week looks unsettled, with rain forecast.
Lower Birgham: Has had a fantastic week with fish caught every day. Monday produced 6 fish and Tuesday & Wednesday 3 fish each. Fishing Carham beat yesterday I caught up with Tom and congratulated him and his rods on a great week. He said “We were lucky to have a fresh run of fish arrive with us on Monday and they stayed around till Saturday. With fish being caught every day this week, finishing on 17 salmon and 2 seatrout, by far the standout week of the year….so far! Sea liced summer salmon with most ranging between 9-13lb.
