Mike B, John M and Dougie S start their first drift out from Kelson

It seems the Loch is fishing better during the day just now.  Certainly, those of us who have been fishing days and evenings have found much better sport during the day.  Everyone found the going hard on this session.  It started with a bang for Adrian C, though.  He was into a rainbow an ounce short of 5 lb within minutes.  Not only was it our most notable fish since Adrian's big fish on Portmore, he even caught it on the same fly, an orange muddler.  Adrian was on the Leven floater, between Kelson and Reed Bower at the time.

Note the tail -- yes, that's the shape they should be

The evening had started looking quite good, but the sun came out and the wind got up and it just didn't amount to anything.  The black-headed gulls made much more of the fly life than the fish did.  Steve G and Derek K in our boat had a fish each to a silver invicta on DI-3 and floater respectively.  And, eh, that's about all there is to report!  The club's 4 boats weighed in a meagre 5 rainbows, albeit for an impressive 14 lb 9 oz (with a few assorted brownies all returned).
