Fish Counter results for November 2008 :

Ettrick: After the very good October count, November was not great, but there is generally an inverse relationship between October and November - the better one is, the poorer the other is.

Gala: Another apparently very good total, for November, but until there is a longer time series it is not really possible to say what is good or what is bad. As the minimum spawning requirement for the Gala (based on the "wetted area" that has to be stocked with eggs) is 684 salmon, this year's total will well surpass this level.

The numbers are on the attachment.
