Some interesting work at Ardhuncart. Be interesting to hear how they are funding it. Hopefully they are chasing cash handouts like the Dee.

Interesting.

I used to be one of the syndicate rods on Ardhuncart when i lived in the 'shire

An amazing bit of river and i had some amazing times there.

Now people will correct me if i am wrong but i think that the estate was sold ( quite a few years ago now I guess) and the new owners then didn't renew the syndicate lease so therefore stopped any fishing ? I don't know if that happened?

Had some great salmon and trout catches on that stretch back in the day - also saw the biggest brown trout i have ever seen....

When the salmon arrived in number in the end of May it was a lovely place to spend an evening
