Right, for those who think my command of the English language is as bad as my fishing  : Veteran: 1) a person who has given long service in some capacity; 2) a soldier who has seen a lot of active service; 3) a person who has served in the military forces. I think (at least  ) one of those applies to Iain regarding his 'experience', so no 'ageist' jibe intended on my part by using the word, which, by definition, makes no negative reference to age or being old ! Cracking fish dude, well done in those conditions !  Lindsay |

Cracking fish Iain I had a bash upriver yesterday had snow, hail, sun and wind no fish rose whole day despite flies trickling off. Had a couple on nymphs and lost one 2lb+ on a streamer. Good day out. Michael |

Thanks guys, Not as large as some of the crackers that have been caught recently but well worth the wait on a dry. Had a wander along the river today and could only guess as to what season it is, one minute you think you might get snowed in then the next the shades and trunks are on  No rises seen, 30 or so Olives & 1 MB, that's all I saw between 12 and 2. Can't really be bothered with the nymph so need to chase up this camera and start using the time better when waiting for rising fish. Iain |

Nice fish Michael. I wouldn't normally think of fishing in the evenings this time of year but it's obviously working! Well done.

Well done Michael, I too wouldn't have thought after 6pm was a goer the now. Caught on a 'real' fly too I braved the brutal conditions yesterday from around 2 till 4, at U.Parkhill. On arriving at a fav. riffle and pool of mine there were lots of LDO's and a few MB's coming down and a few tentative trout rising. The wind was gusting well over 20mph and down stream at that so getting any presentation and turnover was very difficult and I saved my energy to cast only to rising fish. I covered and pricked a decent fish midstream, line drag probably working against me. At 3pm a snow flurry started, almost getting to a whiteout at one point ! The LDO's were coming down quite heavily now in the snow and I had the surreal (for me) experience of covering a rising fish in a snow shower and seeing it suck the CDC dry down. Only 9/10 inches but wild, and in those conditions pretty special for me. Lindsay |

Great fish Michael. Also that sounds like a pretty tough afternoons fishing yesterday for you Lindsay, bet hooking that fish made it worth it. Was out today at upper parkhill for a few hours, between 10 and 2. Lots of insects/fly life on the water surface but nothing rising. Fished spiders and wets. Still waiting to get off the mark for trout this season.  Dan |
