Still enjoying the spell of warm weather. It was bright, calm at the start, with a welcoming cooling breeze – and even a bit of late cloud – towards the end of the afternoon. The bright sunshine brought out a collection of natty headgear – Trevor won the prize with his ‘extreme Beau Geste’. The…
t was a beautiful day at Linlithgow Loch, well you could not have asked for anything better if you were watching the jousting at the castle or if you were whizzing about in a wee sailboat – but for fishing it was a bit on the very bright side. The water temperature was 18 and…
A decent looking day! The gales and rain forecast did not materialise. Instead, we got good overhead, and a bit of a swirly birly wind that came off all points of the compass, depending where you went. Word was the cages and Malling shore were the places to go. Derek Gilgour and I started with…
This was a smallish outing with only 9 anglers attending. Despite a rather worrying forecast of rain and strong winds, the conditions on arrival were reasonable, although there was a bright sun. Most boats headed for the main basin and anchored up, although Trevor Gibson and his guest Gary Hezeltine decided to make the longer…
I always look forward to fishing at Coldingham Loch, dreaming of top of the water fishing and drifting along with pleasant company. However –When I left home on the evening of the 8th, the temperature was a very hot 32C, on crossing the Kincardine Bridge, it had dropped to 28, at Linlithgow it had dropped…
More half-decent weather – though the wind, when it got up, was decidedly cool. It was also bright most of the time, and the combination of rising sun and cool wind quickly put the fish down. That was a pity, as they were on the pop to hatching buzzers in the calm when we arrived.…
The weather this year seems to consist of one decent day… once in a while, followed by yet another week, or two, of bitter biting winds and just horrible conditions to be out fishing. As a for example, Ron Sharp and I had been trying to get a day out on Gladhouse. We cancelled once…
Glencorse looked very promising as we stood looking at the water, a nice ripple and a few rising fish, the air temperature was 14°C with a very light WNW wind. Nineteen of us went out with high hopes. I was fishing with Alan Brown, a guest who would like to join us at the end…
I wonder if anyone can remember a year that has started with such cold and wet weather, if so, he must be even older than I am. We had eleven brave souls at Linlithgow last Sunday night and these intrepid anglers caught eight fish – a rod average of 0.73. What we should be proud…
Well folks spring has finally arrived and it arrived at Coldingham on the 4th of May. When we arrived, we had sunshine and wispy cirrus cloud – not enough cloud to be classed as cover but still a very pleasant day. The WSW wind, strong and very blustery, was the only fly in the ointment…
