im in aberfeldy at the moment ben

going to fish kenmore beat on thursday

so far iv been on the aberfeldy AC stretch for a few hours yesterday and today

the river is some size,quite intimidating in places when im trying out the new waders

i heard theyve found the body of the fisherman who went missing,10 miles downstream of where he was fishing

im taking good care and sticking to the shallower areas of the river 

no fish yet,only one missed take,seen a good few rising tonight but i couldnt get to them 

the week is young though and il be going back for more
