Posted @withregram โข @fishfanatic36 Nice brace yesterday from Canterland on the North Esk. Almostโฆ..Almost had 3 only for one to come off at the net ๐๐ salmon fishing is a great leveller. Not a bad two days with the party landing 6 for our two days. Great craic and drams all round. Thanks to @canterland_ghillie for all his help and @neilangusanglingforfar for dropping of tackle by supplies keeping the lads going. #northesk #eskfishing #springsalmon #salmonfishingscotland #catchandreleaseonly

Braw fish ๐
The Eskโs are fishing so well at the moment. Plenty of springers throughout both the North and South Esk. We are finding that the spring salmon are on average larger than the normal. Anyone else seeing this trend? #atlanticsalmon #salmonfishingscotland #springsalmon #scottishsalmonfishing #keepfishwet #keepemwetfishing #northesk #southesk #scotland #swingflies #salmonjunkies #dryshoesdontcatch #speycasting #salmonfishing #salmon #flyfishing #visitangus

Angling pressure on the south esk in the opening to mid spring is nowhere near the same as the north esk , the old saying “ if your flee is in the water you have a chance “!!!!
What’s been caught on the south esk please so far ?
Ness system has been doing ok in comparison to last season which was brutal but slow of course compared with 30 yrs ago. As you would expect, good quality fish heading up Moriston, Oich and Garry with many of them being about 20 lb and in great condition.
Netting a springer at Canterland on the North Esk. It is always a tense moment for angler and gillie alike, thankfully most of the time it ends with a beautiful fish in the net. Followed by the usual hand shake, whooping, back slapping and in some cases tears of joy!! #atlanticsalmonflyfishing #salmonfishing #salmonfishingscotland #atlanticsalmon #salmonjunkies #Gillie #northesk #southesk #eskrivers #swingflies #flyfishing #scottishsalmon #salmonriver #dryshoesdontcatch #catchandrelease #canterland

The fish ladder at Kinnaird on the South Esk has now been cleared. Just in time for some big water this week. Just a note of interest nothing has yet been caught below the ladder over the past few weeks. #atlanticsalmon #salmonfishingscotland #salmonfishing #eskrivers #southesk #kinnairdcastle #salmonriver #springsalmon #fishladder #atlanticsalmonscotland

Is that really an attempt to justify taking so long? Its almost like looking for pollution damage a good while after it happened?
Walked the south esk couple times this year there’s many other restrictions that need cleared also after the flood . Taking fees but not looked after at its best ๐ anyone tell me who’s responsible for that part ? ๐ค๐ค๐ค
Oh that makes it all ok then ๐ฅน
Thinking of fishing the Esks for the first time?
Here’s what anglers have to say.
