The day was a real struggle, mostly due to the stiff wind, which blew up into a real hooly by mid-afternoon.  There was a smattering of mayfly coming off, plus a few claret duns.  Spoonings revealed just a few claret dun nymphs per fish, most of which appeared fairly residential.

All the action was from Kate's Brae, round by the Quarry, Lochend and Jimmy Nairn's, to Tod Hole.  Although it didn't seem a day for nymphing, nymphy tactics figured prominently in our catches, such as most of them were.  Most successful was a team of black nymph, red holo Diawl Bach and mini-tadpole, figure-of-eighted on a ghost-tip.  Kenneth C and Eric S both had a couple to nymphs (Diawl Bachs again) on intermediate line.  John M had another to Diawl Bach plus a couple on a PTN, all on the floater.
