Some photos taken by Bob Clark of work being carried out on the upper Ruel, to prevent bank erosion and improve habitat, being undertaken by River Ruel Improvement Association.

2pm wed 4/9/19 River running very high, fast and dirty that combined with gale force wind in the area made it just about unfishable. Providing we dont get much more rain,  Saturday and into the beginning of next week should provide ideal conditions and a good chance of sea trout or even a salmon.   : Bob Clark (River Ruel Convener)

Bob Clark was up the River Ruel today and caught this nice wee sea trout, it’s his first this season and was around the 1lb mark, it took a size 12 stoats tail, the fish was safely returned to the river … well done Bob !

Bill Rankin caught his first salmon from the River Ruel today, a nice cock fish around the 6+lbs mark, all he would divulge was it was taken on a size 12 fly, a quick photo  and then safely returned to the water to continue its journey. Well done Bill and thanks for sharing.
