On our way to Frandy on Saturday evening, the weather was very pleasant. The sun was out, but with some cloud cover, we had a light wind from the southwest and the air was 19°C. When I arrived, the day session chaps were still out, so I watched the boats and a few bankies, and…
Report and photos by Ed. On the way to Linlithgow, the weather was fine; it had been raining rather heavily during the night, but the temperature was 14°C, the wind was light from the south-east and we had overcast light – what could go wrong? Well, quite a lot, but I will tell you about…
Driving through to the Lake on a June Sunday, the outside temperature is showing 15 degrees and there is good cloud cover, so I have a real sense of anticipation. On arrival, there is a fair wave on the water, but the swallows are working well and still the feeling remains positive. I get a…
The French say, “We should be very careful what we wish for, for we will surely get it.” Well I and everyone else on previous outings have been wishing for better weather, and boy did we get it – we got the hottest day of the year so far. Not a cloud in the sky,…
This outing was scheduled for Saturday 6th, however Saturday 6th was, like many days this year, a write-off due to gales. It must take a bit to make Coldingham dangerous, but Gareth reported there were huge waves crashing on the north shore, so it’s as well we were able to reschedule for the following evening. …
We almost got a good day on Saturday the 30th May – It was dry, bright, but still with the strong, cold, blustery wind blowing from the North West. The water temperature was 9.5°C and the air was the same, never the best for fishing near the top of the water. Allan Brown and I…
I think a few of us must have been bad in our youth. Why? Because the weather was if anything worse, for fishing, than any other time this year. When we arrived at Carron, the water was spilling over the dam in waves and the water on the reservoir side of the dam was chaotic.…
Will the weather ever get better this year? When we arrived at Glencorse, it was quite nice, the wind was gentle from the west and fish were rising in boat bay. Bob Whyte and I were blethering and decided that we were going to try dries up at the west end of the loch and…
Our uncanny knack of failing at every attempt to get a day of ideal conditions for an outing to Coldingham continued, as May heralded in single-figure temperatures, and a biting wind that was actually better when it was off the north than when it came round to the east. It was, otherwise, a day of…
There are few things as certain as death and taxes, but one is that if our club is on Carron, it will be a day of bright sun and cold easterly breeze. Yesterday was a fine example. I fished with our esteemed Secretary, and we both still think of Carron as a wild brownie water,…
