Note: A slow start to the season, it picked up as the went on, August and the weather changed for the worse with heavy rain and strong winds for near 2 weeks and that put the water levels in the lochs way up to spring level. One Char caught about half pound in September and a huge trout lost. |

Note: Early seasons cold and windy through to August, then the lochs were low in water and very bright, smaller fish were then being caught. The biggest fish caught on the Badanloch system was 6lb 3oz caught by Ian Stoddart on an orange muddler. Many more fish were caught but not recorded. |
