This was a very poorly supported outing from the word go and, with further call–offs in the week beforehand, we ended up with only 4 rods. It just proves how difficult it is to get things right in booking. Having booked 6 boats for both Carron outings we were looking for an extra 3 boats…

Thankfully, the problems experienced recently by the Lake management seem to have passed. Don’t know if the exact problem was ever identified but, fingers crossed they have seen the last of it! We were not sure what to expect in they way of stockies vs residents. Conditions were good at the start, and Quint recommended…

This outing used to be a full day outing, but due to lack of interest for the evening session we have gone to a 4.00 p.m. finish for 2009. The day was no more than reasonable for the time of year. We had a medium wind which varied in direction, but was mainly a North…

JSB reports… Conditions were mixed for our first visit of 2009 to Coldingham, with clear water and a temperature of 15 degrees, but only occasional cloud cover and a strongish NW wind. This meant that the fishable areas were restricted and anchoring up was the order of the day, mainly in or near Boathouse Bay.…

A bit of a near-miss, conditions-wise. Temperature was lovely and warm the day before, but dropped like a stone overnight. Wind was southerly (thought that should be a warm direction!!!) a lot of the time, which is awkward for Carron, blowing across the water and buggering up the drifts, and was swirling, changing direction, almost…

A good looking day at the start – flat calm with buzzers hatching and fish rising. Bob Allan and I started out on dries (Adams hopper and black Klinkhammer), and we were rewarded with some cooperative fish in the first half hour or so. Unfortunately, as soon as a breeze got up, the fish went…

When the secretary left North Berwick at 7.00 am, the temperature was minus two degrees – not an auspicious start. The fact that the sun appeared on the way to Linlithgow did something to raise spirits, but it was still a cold March morning as we tackled up. The word was that buzzers had been…

What a great start to the season – 12 rods, 72 fish, no boat with fewer than 6 fish, and NO blanks. With the demise of Lindores we started to look for an alternative first outing in March. As we used to have an early season outing to Butterstone it was agreed that we would…
