Loch Leven, day session, 9th September.

The loch has been treading a precarious line recently.  Get a good day, and it has fished well: there were over 300 fish weighed-in in the national final.  Get a bad day, however, and it has been its old self of days gone by, when you wonder if there are any fish in there.

Eh, needless to say, we got a bad one...  Blowing a wee bit of a hooly; turned cold all of a sudden; and bright.  It was optional, but do we ever learn to turn round and go home?  Of course we don't!

Excitement in boat 31 reaches fever pitch, as a fish is spotted...

...or it might have been a wave.

So, what did we have to show for our day?  Well, not a lot.  Save for a few small brownies being returned, Stewart B weighed in a rainbow of 2 lb 1 oz, taken on an orange sparkler, on Wetcel II, while grounded on Reed Bower.  And that was it: one fish for 15 rods!
