So i wandered to another loch on saturday .
The weather was due to be lovely so i was hopeful of a fruitful day.
Started off with my #4 from the bank and within i would say 5 mins got a solid take and a good fish cartwheeled into the air. When it landed it started ripping line through my finders with my rod buckling....i lost control of the line through my fingers and ....well.....cue the air turning a lovely shade a blue ! What a stonker of a fish - at least a couple of pounds
The wind was swirling a but but casting was ok. I then had another solid take and nothing...i was gutted.
About 30 mins later i did get one on the bank and a right fatty it was too
Picture is quite poor in showing its size put it was a good 3/4 to 1lb - maybe even heavier due to its build !
Had a few more takes that i failed to convert.
Just as i was about to leave the wind dropped and fish started splashing, some right next to the bank . I never fish dries but thought " why not ?"
Put on a ' jingler' and within a couple of minutes there is a splash and i have a fish on the line - i was well chuffed . Great way to end the day.
