Loch Bhac 07 Aug 2015
A productive day with Jimmy. Some evidence of Caenis spinners and shucks, plus a few sedges, and a ecent number of spruce bark aphids (a new one to me this year).
Eye-Shin-Craggie 2015
Tricky on Eye, but some nice fish to be had. Plenty sport on Shin. Highlight was the mayfly hatch on Craggie – our best yet. Mostly stayed with dries – can’t cover risers with the dap!
Summer piking 2015
Spinnerbaits and surface lures were the order of the day.
Trossachs 05 Jul 2015
An inch of rain fell in an hour, mid-afternoon. That seemed to put the tin lid on what had been some good activity.
Orkney 2015
Jimmy, Dougie, Alex and me this time. Fishing decent, given it was late June and the temperature was never above 11°C.
Menteith 12 June 2015
A day with Jimmy, looking for mayfly feeders. A few on dries and one on the dap.
Lochaber 2015
Ten of us spent a week of fishing Lochs Arkaig, Shiel and Lochy for ferox with wet fly. Thankfully I caught one! Some of the fish caught by others on this trip, and other trips to these waters can be found here.
Annan 04 April 2015
Several sequences of the take and the lift – with mixed success. A few small trout and one grayling.
Menteith 20 March 2015
Opening day, out with Jimmy – and it was like summer! Ended up in our shirt sleeves.
