It was a quiet opening day outing for the club this season, with only 3 boats booked following a few last minute call-offs. Our last few sessions on Linlithgow have proven to be extremely challenging, not helped by the quality of the water, which resulted in poor catch returns. Last season this outing was cancelled…
DetailsA superb day just to be out, after so much bleak, cold, grey, off-the-east type weather in recent months. I saw the forecast – no breeze and no cloud – and so slathered myself in Factor 50 before leaving the house. I had been out on our loch for just a couple of hours last…
DetailsThis was the 2nd week of the season for Glencorse fishery. It seems like the weather gods are against us for most of our outings to Glencorse, and today seemed no different! The trouble with weather forecasts is that they’re right too often for us to ignore them and wrong too often for us to…
DetailsMel Mitchell reports… We arrived to a crisp Spring morning and a full car park. Three clubs were booked-in for the day. The start of this season has delivered some fantastic sunny weather, with the first week of April being no exception. A weak Jet Stream has created what is known as an Omega Block…
DetailsAn absolute cracker of a day, weather-wise! It was a cool start, as the weather was still off the east and we had good cloud cover. But winds were light (mostly south-easterly), and the morning cloud gave way to bright sun for most of the afternoon, which brought the temperature up to the point I…
DetailsThe day was a decidedly cool one: 8 C and a stiff easterly breeze. Top bags were two 7s. In total the 12 rods caught 28 fish. Best areas were Tank/Shooters’ Bay. Lines were DI-3 and midge tip. Best flies were Diawls and buzzers.
DetailsDougie Skedd reports… Ah, the joys of our Scottish climate! Last weekend at Harelaw we suffered atrocious conditions of high winds and cold. This weekend we got flat calm and benign temperatures and an odd bit of drizzle. As we were tackling up, fish were moving just beyond the boats. Things were looking better. I…
DetailsI arrived at the water to find a long queue of cars parked on the road outside. It seems the new management are not the early risers that Ken was… or as we are! Eventually they arrived and opened up the shop for us. The weather has been, and continues to be, all over the…
DetailsMel Mitchell writes… We arrived to find a full car park, which is good to see midweek. It was almost flat calm, with warm sunny weather forecast for the day. We were allocated one of the 3 boats currently trialling the ePropulsion lithium motors on the Lake, only to find the battery had not been…
DetailsThis was the club’s first outing to Cobbinshaw in decades. It has not been an option in the intervening years due to the Cobbinshaw policy regarding clubs. However, we are now able to return. It wasn’t fishing weather – being very bright – lashings of Factor 50 required. The wind was up and down through…
