This was a game of two halves for Peter Fionda and me. The conditions in the morning were decent. Although the breeze was fresher than you would want for fishing dries, we had good overhead. And the temperature was back down to normal – in fact a layer was required at the start. Peter put…
Keith Logan writes… I was fishing with John McGonagle. We joined the armada and headed up towards the Malling Shore, first thing. There were already a couple of boats working the area, drifting out from close to shore, in line towards Dog Isle. The conditions felt really good, but once again there was little sign…
It was an unexpected and fairly ominous start to the day, setting off from East Lothian: torrential rain! The good news was that the further north we travelled, the better the weather, although it was clear by the amount of water on the roads that there must have been heavy showers right across the east…
Some things just never change. If we have a club outing on Coldingham, we get rubbish conditions for it. Never seems to change. Surely it must get gentle westerlies and a good ceiling there on some days? Surely??? So, how come I can barely remember a day when we didn’t get a bright sky and…
Dougie Skedd reports… Looked like a decent day when we turned up at The Lake for out June outing there. A bit of cloud, a bit of sun, a bit of breeze, nothing too much in any way. The breeze was a bit cool but it was early. Bob Whyte and I set out with…
My first ever visit to the Watch. It left me wondering why I had not been there before! Cracking part of the country… and great views all around, going over the Lammermuirs to get there. I stopped a couple of times to try and get photos of a family of red grouse fledglings and a…
The day started with us all having to use alternative routes to get to Frandy, as the road is closed at Glendevon to carry out the long-awaited repairs to the bridge over the Devon. Alternatives all a bit of a 3-day camel ride. Most folk went via Stirling and the A9, though Matt seemed to…
Outing cancelled due to high winds. Not worth taking the risk on Friday the 13th!
An interesting day of conditions. The temperature was about the only fairly steady thing – a lot better than of recent, too. The sky was variable – cloudy at times and bright sunshine at others. However, the big variable was the breeze. It was never the same strength or direction for more than 2 minutes.…
A dodgy start to the day for quite a few folk. I was quite early and, as I came past Standburn, I noticed a sign at the side of the road stating ROAD CLOSED. I was following a highway maintenance vehicle at this time and it put its hazards on just after. I dunno if…
