Black Loch
Visit to Black Loch with Stan Headley, 14 October 2015
Cracking conditions for some late season dry fly fishing with Jimmy.
Twelve of us this year. Fishing the poorest by far – 9 sea trout and no salmon between us!
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).
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!
An inch of rain fell in an hour, mid-afternoon. That seemed to put the tin lid on what had been some good activity.
Jimmy, Dougie, Alex and me this time. Fishing decent, given it was late June and the temperature was never above 11°C.
A day with Jimmy, looking for mayfly feeders. A few on dries and one on the dap.
