Mel Mitchell reports… In keeping with all the recent sunny, warm weather we have been having, it was another beautiful early morning drive over the Lammermuirs and down towards Longformacus. There were plenty grouse to be seen flying over the hillside, and others out for an early morning stroll along the roadside. All looking like…
Mel Mitchell reports… We arrived at the lake to what I thought were perfect conditions. Overcast sky, a light northerly/north westerly breeze coming off the Malling shore and a gentle ripple. The conditions were very welcome, compared to the strong winds we experienced on the previous outing. I was out with Jimmy Anderson and we…
Dougie Skedd reports… Looked like a decent day when we turned up at The Lake for out June outing there. A bit of cloud, a bit of sun, a bit of breeze, nothing too much in any way. The breeze was a bit cool but it was early. Bob Whyte and I set out with…
Mel Mitchell reports… Due to a late call off, the day started by requiring some chemical 1,2-shifts in terms of boat partners resulting in a new pairing of Dougie Skedd and myself heading out in boat 11. We set out on an easterly course, heading straight for the dam wall. There was little wind and…
Derek Kilgour reporting… The weather when we set off was looking promising: overcast, temperatures around the low teens, and a light breeze from the north-east to east direction. I was fishing with Jimmy McBride, and we headed across to Burnhouse Bay, taking a few drifts in towards the shore. Jimmy set up on dries and…
It seemed as though we had never been away – same conditions that we faced on the 9th April: wind from the North West, but gusty as usual, although temperatures were up slightly, and we saw a little more blue sky. Our 6 boats split into 2 groups. Gary Heseltine and Trevor Gibson initially went…
Another poorly attended outing – only 4 boats and 7 members on a blustery and cool day in April. Definitely not a dry fly day. The wind was coming from the North West and, as is normal for Glencorse, it was difficult to get a decent drift without having a drogue out and constantly making…
Keith Logan reports: It was a day probably best spent on the shore by Jimmy Nairn’s with a BBQ or maybe take the pleasure boat out to Inchmaholme. The sun was splitting the sky and there was very little breeze; drifting was but a dream. There were occasional fish rising, but they tended to come…
Keith Logan reports: An interesting day at Frandy. For a start, Trevor’s boat partner accidentally picked up the wrong rod for Trevor and our two clubmates proceeded to head out onto the water unaware of the grievous error. I was left trying to placate a not surprisingly confused and frustrated angler from another club, and…
