There having been considerable interest in the numbers of small grilse caught during the 2006 season, an investigation was carried out by the Tweed Foundation. The first question to answer was whether the numbers of small fish caught in 2006 were a "one-off" phenomenon or part of a longer trend. To answer this, by kind permission of the proprietors, the Foundation’s copies of the catch records of two major fisheries, one in the lower river and the other in the middle river were brought up to date for analysis and a report made to the River Tweed Commission.
