Although things were a bit slow to start, conditions seemed pretty good for top of the water fishing, and indeed this turned out to be an excellent day for the club with Glencorse rainbows co-operating well and with even some brownies joining in the action. Some early fish fell to lures, but as the afternoon…
Wet and windy. A day to test the water-proofing of your water-proofs, this one. Not ideal conditions for dry fly, but history suggested it was a good bet, Douglas suggested it was a good bet and, with weed but a few inches below the surface over much of the water, it was a good bet.…
This was another new venture for the club as it was our first attempt at the unusual Sunday session on The Lake, which is from 12 noon until 7.00 p.m. On our regular Saturday session we sometimes have to leave the water just as the rise is starting, and it was hoped that we might…
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!
This turned out to be another relatively small outing of 9 anglers, which considering the venue’s proximity to Edinburgh seemed rather surprising. 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…
