Fish Counter results for June 2009: Despite the low water levels and the poor catches, the Ettrick counts continue to be within the normal range and are a 100 or so up on last year at this time. The fourteen fish up the Gala Water were all Brown-trout around the 30cms range and it is of interest to see them making the journey in such hot weather and low flows. See attachment for the results.
