Battle Hill Lodge – Week 5 Report

Another week to remember at Battle Hill Lodge!

Despite a mix of conditions, starting with mild weather before the skies opened up and rivers briefly blew out, anglers made the most of their time on the water and were rewarded with fantastic fishing.

Key stats:

  • 🎣 175 sea trout landed
  • 🐟 A handful of Arctic char, Atlantic salmon, and brown trout
  • 🏆 Biggest fish of the week: 95 cm (37.5 inches)

Even with one lost day due to high water, the action was excellent, with fish landed throughout the system. The lodge buzzed with energy thanks to a great mix of anglers from around the world, and evenings were filled with good food, stories, and laughter.
