A day at Bluestone, trying for a back-end salmon – not much doing.
A sudden drop in temperature in the days leading up to our last outing of the season seemed to affect the fishing to a degree. The overall feeling was that it was quite tough. The day itself wasn’t too bad, though the wind, when it got up, was swirly, at times gusty, and variously off…
I have fished Carron for many years and have always liked it. September 29th looked not a bad fishing day, admittedly, the blustery wind was out of the east and it did have a cold edge to it, but every time I have fished Carron bay, I never failed to catch on dries. My boat…
A distinct chill was in the air for the first time this autumn, as my ghillie rang the bell, come as he had to collect me from Fishy Towers. The ghillie’s name was Dougie Skedd, known to all in the club. The reason I had requirement to retain his services was on account of my…

Therefore, on Saturday evening, I spent a pleasant few hours tying up some killer dries. I then took them out to my shed and ginked each one very carefully…
When we arrived at Frandy, it was the start of a nice summer’s day with no wind, flat calm, and sunshine. We saw the odd rising fish. Ken told us that the water was 16°C, and with the air only being, 14°C most of the fishers were thinking about a sub-surface attack. I was fishing…
Another outing with a cold, very strong, and blustery SW wind. When we arrived, the air temperature was 13°C, and Gareth advised that the water was 17°C. However, the air temperature did climb to 18°C by midday. Standing and looking at the loch, we did see one (or was it two?) fish rise, so against…
I was fishing with guest, Mike Mackenzie. Mike suggested starting at the Malling shore, so we headed up to see what was doing. About 10 boats had decided likewise, though the area was big enough to take it – spreading from the plantation across to the reeds beyond Dog Isle. Mike was set up with…
