A (fruitless) day after salmon on the Lower Tummel beat at Moulinearn with Clive Williamson.
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.
