Charts

The charts below are built from a catch log covering the 2020 to 2023 seasons, and reveal patterns that are difficult to see in individual fishing reports.

Rather than focusing on single fish or isolated seasons, the data shows how catches vary across months and how the balance between male and female salmon shifts as the season runs. Some months are dominated by one sex; others are close to even.

Catch statistics can never explain every aspect of salmon behaviour, but a log kept over several seasons reveals recurring trends that place individual observations in a wider context.

About the data

The log records who caught each fish, and that belongs to them. It is not published here and never leaves the river. What you see above are counts only — no names, no dates, no individual fish — and months with too few catches to count anonymously are left out entirely.
