Cracking trout Jim :z16

Great to be out in the tube on a day like today, maybe not ideal fishing conditions, but a grand day out in good company!

I fished away with dries and then wets and nymphs and failed miserably :z4 but I sussed a method towards the end that was more to their liking, shortish roll casts and a Claret Bumble dibbled back to the tube :cool:

Cheers

Fair play Jim, however depending on the level of incompetence in some areas of the globe, even I have to put work first sometimes.

I even took my tube out of the bag last night to inflate before fishing and discovered that mice had eaten their way into the bag and chewed holes in the outer fabric of the tube and also the laces of my fins. There were no holes in the bladders and the tube held pressure but I am going to wage war against the little b******s, I hate them.

OK, for one yer all a bunch of c**ts  :z7
For two, damn Banchory show, which is why I couldn't go today (it's my missus main piss up of the year, and y'all can try to tell her I'm fishing and she's not drinking, I'm too scared :shock)

The main pisser is that I developed flies to take trout out of Tanar and I wasn't there to share.
Looks like you had a lovely day for it (more pissed off) and the craic was good, which is why I'll be there next time.
Who would have thought this summer would be blue skies!
Great pictures chaps, thanks. Ed, KILL the mice!
Any more pics would be cool cos I do love the place.

Euan,

I hate mice almost as much as work, it is now over 29 hours from the phone call and I am not finished . I can understand your thing with the wife but that is a 24 hour thing at worst, work sucks roll on the 18th of August in the hills.

blazing hot sun and little cloud cover didn't augur well for a loch that fishes much better at dusk. But these days out aren't about catching, but about catching up. Great wee day, good chat with Jim, and great to look out on the water and see some familiar faces. Well, apart from Sandy's face, which was (sensibly) covered up as though he was on the bonefish flats...

couple of quick pics from me

the loch, morning:


a 16" brown for me

Not up to Goolager Video standards I'm afraid, but looks OK in 720p HD, you can just about see Iain playing a nice trout in the distance :cool:
