Submitted by admin on Tue, 09/03/2013 - 19:10 River Leven. Another quiet week on the Leven but it goes without saying that this year's weather has been a complete contrast to last year. Hopefully the rain gods will be good to us soon. On Saturday 30th, the month ended for Andy Patrick at the Bonhill [...]

Submitted by admin on Tue, 08/06/2013 - 20:35 River Leven. July’s dry, hot weather had the expected effect on the Lomond system with very few salmon coming to the net. The river’s level stayed at summer low for some time and even the weekend compensation flow didn't make much impression. At the beginning of the [...]
Submitted by admin on Mon, 07/15/2013 - 20:32 River Leven. The warm, dry weather is still with us......as if we hadn't noticed. Not much showing apart from the occasional sea trout.

Submitted by admin on Thu, 07/04/2013 - 18:27 River Leven. Last week we mentioned that John McGrogan had a rather unfortunate experience while releasing a salmon back to the river.

Submitted by admin on Fri, 06/28/2013 - 19:11 River Leven. The Leven has been quiet this week with a few rumours, though no confirmed catches.

Submitted by admin on Thu, 06/20/2013 - 21:06 River Leven. Unfortunately the rain at the weekend didn't have much effect on the system, certainly not enough to top up the Loch level. The gates have been closed since Monday and the river is at summer low. Not much activity reported, which is not unusual at [...]
Submitted by admin on Wed, 06/12/2013 - 21:02 River Leven. Another prolonged dry spell, but unsettled weather's on the way with heavy showers forecast for Friday and Saturday.

Submitted by admin on Wed, 06/05/2013 - 20:58 River Leven. Despite fluctuating water levels the Leven continues to produce good quality fish.
