Firstly, thanks G. Ritchie for the link.

I liked the programme and at this time of year it serves to encourage.
I'm not a great caster but I feel that one or two guys could have spent a relatively insignificant sum on casting lessons prior to fishing some of those impressive and more than likely expensive beats.

I agree that the lady presenter impressed me with her casting.

Looking forward to the next episode.

I watched Mr R. Green Esquires' lastest installment and found it less anoying than the last series - if you can forget his 'daftness' for a second it was nice to see some of the locations .........and him almost getting hauled overboard by a nice big Sturgeon.

Hi Harri,
           By co-incidence I am fishing the Tweedsmuir beat at Melrose in two weeks time. This was the first beat visited in the program. I'll take some piccies and put them on the site if your'e interested ?

Paul.

Hi Paul

I’ve been fishing the Melrose & District Angling Association water so I’m familiar with Tweed round Melrose, thanks anyway. 
Of course we would like to se your pics, from your Tweed trip. 

Turus a Bhradain. Anyone who can put this to English

2nd episode on tonight chaps 

 

Jim

[Jim Eddie]

Good episode again tonight , Newtyle and Glendelvine beats  on the Tay, cracking Springer around the 20lb mark 

Interesting stuff at the hatchery , the Salmon started feeding once they had spawned , they now spawn without going back to sea, one fish spawned 14 times !

 

Jim

[Duncan McRae]

Yes Jim, some very interesting stuff.I couldn't believe that a salmon would survive all those years in a hatchery and spawn each year!

The Park shrimp fly fairly does the business.Does anyone know a supplier?

Duncan

[Jim Eddie]

Duncan

Caithness flies do them , I've bought trout flies from them , not the cheapest but top quality. Mind you at the price of the Salmon flies you would not want to be losing many

Looks like i'm going to end up paying a fortune,i'm really going to have to learn to tie my own flies!

Damnation!
