TIMES? :shock ....... that would suggest that there is some sort of plan! :shock

Basically Rob, you should find us either at the field or at the Colquhonnie hotel :z4

Cheers

Hope you guys have a good weekend! Please say Hi to Dave and Paul from me.

Any chance of bumping into the Loopers on the Dutch Fly Fair in a couple of weeks?

Well, another Sexyloops Scottish Gathering has been and gone.
I'm sure for some the weather was a talking point..... from really warm sunny conditions on Thursday to freezing conditions, rain, sleet and snow  :shock

My time at 'loops this year was cut short when, very sadly, my Mother-in-Law passed away on Friday morning.
With family matters to attend to, I left Friday before lunchtime but I managed to come back again on Sunday morning to join in with the activities.

I did manage to get a few photos taken on Thursday and Friday morning a few of which I've added below:

The troops gather for a cast on the Don. Other than a tan or two, not much was caught.



The wire netting pool (about the best below the Colquhonnie) get's some serious attention.....



Matt covers the warm waters of the sunny Don.



Friday.... and Matt gets Ben and I on his 'case' in the now much colder waters of the Don.
I'm sure he will never tire of telling the story of how often he was told 'FFS stand f*cking still'  :z7



I'm already looking forward to next years gathering  :z13

:z3

I'm pretty ignorant of fishing celabrities. Can anybody tell me who this Matt character is? 

Cheers Matt

I wouldn't say Matt is a celebrity as such, but he had travelled to Scotland from Australia to attend the Sexyloops gathering.
OK, there might have been a family visit to southern England involved as well, but saying he travelled that far to attend a gathering reads better  :wink

He is an FFF Master Instructor in Oz I believe. Also an all round good bloke.

Hi guys,

Looks like fun, how many 'Loopers' were present?

If there's a gathering same time next year, maybe we'll be present. It's been too long since our last visit...
