This was a good fishing day with temperature in the low 20’s and a warm south-westerly breeze. Cloud cover was pretty good over the day, although one heavy downpour was most unwelcome. The stand out boat was that of Tommy Steven and Bob Allan, who between them accounted for 21 fish. They found co-operative residential…
A very hot sunny day did not make things easy for this outing, with temperatures reaching the mid twenties and the surface being flat calm for much of the day. However, where there is a will there is a way, and Tommy Steven found that a yellow booby on a DI-5 with a varied retrieve…
This outing was looked forward to following a successful visit in June, however our anglers found it very hard going on what proved to be a difficult day. Only Trevor Gibson and his guest Dave Bertram cracked it. They stuck close to the Dam Wall and ended up with 18 fish between them. Trevor had…
A three day ‘fact-finding mission’ with John Wastle in 2009. Good sport on Loch Quoich with hard-fighting brownies. If you’ve ever wondered where clegs come from, this is the place!

It was a mild evening with a light north wind, but the water was quite warm and very low. A bright sky for most of the evening didn’t help matters for top of…
An unremittingly dreich evening — a stiff easterly breeze and misty drizzle. The water was very murky by usual Linlithgow standards. Talk was of having to anchor in the deeper area and fish Hi-Ds. Not what you want to hear when you go along hoping for some summer evening sport with dry fly! Not much…
This was our first attempt at an evening session on Coldingham and it didn’t attract a big turn-out, with only 9 anglers taking part. Being next to the longest day however, we were assured of having a “guid kick at the ba” as far as light was concerned. Unfortunately, for some of the time we…
At Kinnaird. A two-day visit with Alan Morrison for sea trout.
Frandy is a water where I either catch them on dries or struggle to catch them. Fortunately, conditions were good for fishing dries – calm in the morning and a light westerly in the afternoon, with broken cloud cover – and an odd rumble of thunder in the distance. I fished with Gary Wright, and…
