Loch Leven, day session, 8 September

Not to be outdone by summer being one of the wettest on record, autumn seems to have started out in similar vein.  We had the leftovers of a night of thunder and lightning at the start, accompanied by a stiff north easterly.  And those were the better conditions.  Later, the cloud gave way to bright sunshine, which really killed off our chances of sport.

Not surprisingly, the few fish we had were caught mostly early in the day.  Alan H and Trevor G had 3 between them, to boobies and DI-7 at the sluices.  John M had one at the west point to a Dunkeld and DI-3, while Tommy S had a brownie nymphing up the north.  Stu B had a good brownie to DI-7 and black cat, notably later in the day when it was all but a lost cause.

A lot of hard work paid off for Stu B -- 2 lb 11 oz of Leven brownie

Top rod by a country mile was Alan M, who fished in the north to take 3 good 'bows to fast glass and DI-5 on a black muddler and a butchery-Dunkeldy minilure.

The club's 15 rods weighed in 9 fish for 18 lb 3 oz.
