Fish Counter results for 2008 (attached): The Ettrick total was not good, only just above the number of Salmon needed to meet the spawning target, so concerns over the state of the collapsing cauld on the ability of Salmon to find the fish pass are increasing. It was, however, a good year for trout. On the Gala, an unexpectedly high total, half of which were Salmon, so  the 700 spawning target was greatly exceeded.
